Olam adds US$3b to medium-term bond programme

The programme now stands at US$5b.

Olam International today announced that it has updated its Medium Term Note Programme by increasing the maximum aggregate principal amount of notes that may be issued under the Programme by US$3b.

The programme, which was established on July 6 2012, was initially capped at U.S.$2,000,000,000. Following the update, the maximum aggregate principal amount of notes is now at U.S.$5,000,000,000.

Following the increase, the Programme has been renamed as the Company's "U.S.$5,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme".

“In conjunction with the increase in programme limit and the update of the Programme, the Company has issued an updated offering circular dated 14 July 2014 relating to the Programme (the "Offering Circular") and entered into a Supplemental Trust Deed with The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch on 14 July 2014 to amend the trust deed dated 6 July 2012 relating to the Programme,” noted Olam.

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.
