Fragrance Group to buy back up to $30m of its $100m notes

It will repurchase the notes at the daily prevailing market price quoted for the notes.

Property developer Fragrance Group announced its intent to repurchase up to $30m in aggregate principal amount from the holders of its $100m 4.75% notes due November 21 that were issued under its $1b multicurrency debt issuance programme, a filing with the Singapore Exchange (SGX) revealed.

The firm will repurchase the notes at the daily prevailing market price quoted for the notes, together with applicable accrued interest, subject to a cap of 97% of the principal amount of the note.

In the event that the amount of notes made available by the noteholders for repurchase by the company exceeds the cap, Fragrance Group will cease the repurchase earlier once the repurchase reaches the cap.

“The prevailing market price of the notes has been in the region of 96% of the principal amount of the notes in recent times,” the group’s executive director and deputy CEO Periakaruppan Aravindan said. For the avoidance of doubt, the proposed repurchase will not affect in any way the terms and conditions of the notes, he added.

The proposed repurchase will commence on 21 June and end on 5 July.

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.
