SATS prices US$500m worth of bonds at 4.828%

The bonds are due in five years.

SATS has priced its inaugural issue of US$500 million senior unsecured notes due 23 January 2029 at 4.828%.

“The notes are immediately converted into Euros through a cross-currency swap to achieve a fixed rate of 3.498% per annum to match the currency of the existing bridge loans to hedge the company's foreign currency exposure,” SATS explained.

SATS will list the notes on the SGX-ST on 24 January.

SATS will use the net proceeds from the notes issuance to refinance part of its existing €1b ($1.5b) bridge loans maturing in May 2024.

The notes represent the first issuance of SATS’ US$3b multicurrency debt issuance programme established on 17 November 2023, known as the EMTN Programme.

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.
