Eager investors snap up KrisEnergy’s $200million notes

Its order book now stands at $1.6billion.

Mainboard-listed firm KrisEnergy today revealed that its $200million notes due 2018 have been successfully priced and eagerly snapped up by investors. The notes are eight times subscribed with an order book pegged at $1.6billion.

The 2018 notes have a fixed rate of 5.75% and are released under the S$500 million Multicurrency Medium Term Notes Programme established on 26 May 2014.

According to Kiran Raj, KrisEnergy’s Chief Financial Officer, “We are delighted with the success of this issue which is yet another capital markets milestone in the strengthening of our balance sheet as we gear up our development activities in the region. The market response has been nothing short of exemplary. Having more than halved our cost of debt over the last eight months, we now have available over US$250 million in unused sources of liquidity and a gearing of approximately 39%, which is around the mid-point of our target range.”

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.
