CapitaLand Investment Limited raised $186 million (RMB1 billion) from the second and final tranche of its inaugural sustainability-linked panda bond.

Including the first tranche, CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) has raised $372m (RMB2 billion) from its inaugural sustainability-linked panda bond.

In an announcement, CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) stated that its panda bond recorded a subscription rate of 2.64 times and had a fixed coupon rate of 2.8% per annum.

The coupon rate was a record low among panda bonds, with a three-year tenor issued under a private placement. The first tranche of panda bonds had a fixed coupon rate of 3.5% per annum.

CLI will use the net proceeds from the panda bond to refinance existing borrowings.

The issuance of the sustainability-linked panda bond is also tied to CLI’s objective to reduce energy consumption intensity by 7.5% at its properties in China by 2025 from the base year of 2019.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
