Keppel (SGX:BN4) has priced SG$325 million of fixed-rate subordinated perpetual securities at 3.30% under its $5 billion multi-currency debt issuance program, according to a Thursday filing to the Singapore bourse.
The global asset manager and operator has appointed DBS Bank, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (SGX:O39), and United Overseas Bank (SGX:U11) as joint bookrunners and lead managers for the issue.
Keppel plans to use the proceeds from the issue to fund general corporate needs and refinance existing perpetual debt.
The Series 018 Securities will be issued in the denomination of SG$250,000 and will be perpetual, with no fixed redemption date. They are expected to be issued on or around June 11.
The company will have the option to redeem the Series 018 Securities in whole, but not in part, at 100% of their principal amount, together with the distribution accrued on June 11, 2029.
Keppel plans to list the new Series 018 securities on the Singapore exchange for qualified institutional and accredited investors.
