Singtel Optus will utilise the funds for general corporate purposes.

Singtel subsidiary Singtel Optus priced its EUR500m ($770.82m) 10 year fixed-rate notes at 1% per annum and for maturity on 20 June 2029, an announcement revealed.

Under the Optus Finance EUR3b ($4.62b), the issued notes are guaranteed by Optus and certain subsidiaries.

“This issue is part of Optus’ long-term financing strategy, extends the maturity profile of Optus’ debt as well as adding diversity to its debt structure,” Singtel said in a filing, noting that Optus will utilise the funds for general corporate purposes.

Citigroup Global Markets, HSBC Bank and Merrill Lynch International acted as joint lead managers and bookrunners for the notes which will be issued on 20 June.

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.
