Grab closes upsized US$2b term loan

The term loan is said to be the largest in the Asian technology sector.

Ride-hailing and food delivery giant Grab announced that it has closed its first senior secured term loan facility worth $2.66b (US$2b) as it expands its services in Southeast Asia.

The loan was upsized from the principal amount of $998m (US$750m) after the company secured commitments from investors.

“I am deeply encouraged by the trust placed in us by investors who believe in our mission and recognise the value of our super app platform, as we continue making consistent progress in achieving our growth and sustainability milestones,” Grab CEO and co-founder Anthony Tan said.

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.
