SPH converts programme issuances from notes to debt

The Bank of New York Mellon replaced British and Malayan Trustees as the trustee.

Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) has converted its $1b multicurrency medium term note programme into a debt issuance programme, an announcement revealed. Following the change, SPH may issue securities in series or tranches that will be used for capex and corporate requirements.

Moreover, British and Malayan Trustees will resign as the programme’s trustee and will be replaced by The Bank of New York Mellon, Singapore.

OCBC’s role as the issuing and paying agent, paying agent, and calculation agent will be taken over The Bank of New York Mellon, Singapore as CDP issuing and paying agent, CDP calculation agent, CDP transfer agent, and CDP registrar; The Bank of New York Mellon, London as non-CDP issuing and paying agent and non-CDP calculation agent; and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg as non-CDP transfer agent and non-CDP registrar.

Meanwhile, DBS will join OCBC as the programme’s existing arranger and dealer.

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.
