Singtel’s Optus prices $160m in 10-year notes

Proceeds will be used to fund Optus' regular business operations.

Singtel has announced that its subsidiary Optus, through Optus Finance Pty Limited, has priced $160m in 10-year fixed rate notes.

The notes, due 25 July 2035, will carry a fixed coupon of 2.726% per annum and are guaranteed by Optus and certain subsidiaries. Issued under Optus Finance’s EUR3b Euro Medium Term Note Programme, the notes will be denominated in Singapore dollars.

Proceeds will be swapped into Australian dollars and used to fund Optus' regular business operations.

The issuance is part of Singtel’s strategy to extend its debt maturity profile.

OCBC acted as the sole lead manager and bookrunner.

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.
