Rowsley firms $500m multicurrency Medium Term Note programme

This is its first big move as a multidisciplinary real estate company.

Rowsley has announced that it has established a $500m multicurrency Medium Term Note (MTN) programme.
This marks the first time the debt-free company is planning to gear up since its transformation from an investment holding company into a multidisciplinary real estate company with capabilities in planning, architecture, engineering, investment and development.

Rowsley said it has appointed DBS Bank Ltd. and Standard Chartered Bank as joint arrangers and dealers of the MTN programme.

Under the programme, Rowsley may issue notes to fund the general corporate purposes of the group. This includes financing investments, acquisitions and expansion, repayment of borrowings, general working capital and capital expenditure requirements.

Each series of notes may be issued in Singapore dollars or any other currency. Notes may also be issued in various amounts and tenors, and may bear interest at fixed, floating, variable or hybrid rates or other rates that may be agreed in the applicable pricing supplement. Rowsley also has the option of issuing zero coupon notes under the MTN programme.

Rowsley’s Group CEO Lock Wai Han said: “The MTN programme affirms our bankers’ confidence in our future. It positions us to tap the bond markets as part of our plan to diversify the sources of funding for future business expansion.

“Rowsley currently has zero gearing and even after the establishment of this programme, our fundamentals will remain sound and our balance sheet strong.”

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.
