Singtel Australian unit prices $200m note tranche at 2.84%

Net proceeds will be swapped into Australian dollars for Optus operations.

Singtel’s Australian subsidiary Singtel Optus Pty Limited, through wholly owned unit Optus Finance, has priced $200m in 10-year fixed-rate notes to be issued on 30 June.

The notes will be denominated in Singapore dollars and carry a coupon of 2.84% per annum, according to a bourse filing.

They will mature on 30 June 2036.

Optus Finance will draw down the notes under its $4.43b (€3b) Euro Medium Term Note Programme.

Net proceeds will be swapped into Australian dollars and used by Optus to fund its ordinary course of business.

Singtel said the issuance forms part of its long-term financing strategy and will extend the debt maturity profile of the group and its subsidiaries.

The notes are guaranteed by Singtel Optus and certain subsidiaries.

United Overseas Bank has acted as the sole lead manager and bookrunner for the issuance.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
