Olam issues $249m worth of notes

Those are 5-year fixed rate notes in a private placement.

Olam International Ltd. has successfully priced $249m (US$175m) of 5-year fixed rate notes in a private placement through its wholly-owned subsidiary Olam Americas Inc.

Due to strong demand, the notes which were initially offered were oversubscribed by US$75 million.

"The Notes were placed to six investors in the US at a spread of 199 basis points over the 5-year US treasury rate, which translates to a fixed coupon of 3.90% for 5 years," Olam said in a statement.

Proceeds from the issue of the said notes will be used by Olam's subsidiary for repayment of existing bank debt and general corporate purposes. Closing and funding of the transaction will occur in January 2017.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
