Kansai Paint Lowers Convertible Bond Prices After Dividend Approval

By

Kansai Paint (TYO:4613) has adjusted the conversion prices for its 2029 and 2031 zero-coupon convertible bonds downward to 2,676.1 yen from 2,733 yen, effective April 1, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Friday.

The revision follows a 55 yen-per-share year-end dividend that was approved at the shareholders' meeting on June 26, triggering an adjustment clause in the bond terms.

The new conversion price's 130% threshold stands at 3,478 yen, which determines whether bondholders can exercise conversion rights during the three months before maturity.

The People's Bank of China will increase the overnight reverse repurchase operation in its open market operations on June 29 and June 30.The operation will adopt a fixed interest rate and quantity bidding, according to a Thursday statement.The new rate will be an addition to the PBOC's regular seven-day reverse repo rate, currently at 1.4%, which has served as the main policy benchmark since 2024, Bloomberg reported.Standard Chartered's Becky Liu said the move is a major step toward aligning with U.S. policy rate structures, according to the report. She added that the overnight reverse repo rate is the figure to watch and anything at 1.25% or below would amount to a de facto PBOC rate cut.
