The notes are expected to be issued on 7 May on the SGX-ST.

Keppel Corporation has priced the issue of $150m at 3% notes due 2024 (Series 009 Notes) and $350m at 3.66% notes due 2029 (Series 010 Notes), which will be issued under its US$5b multi-currency medium term note programme, an announcement revealed.

The Series 009 Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears, and will have a tenor of five years, whilst the Series 010 Notes will have a tenor of 10 years.

Net proceeds from the issue of the notes under the programme will be used for general corporate or working capital purposes.

An application will be made to the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading (SGX-ST) for permission to deal in, and for quotation of, the notes.

The notes are expected to be issued on or about 7 May 2019, and are expected to be listed on the SGX-ST on or about the following business day after such issue.

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) has been appointed as the sole dealer of the notes.

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.
