Courts Asia offers to buy back $75m worth of 5.75% notes due 2019

The firm's existing cash surplus will fund their offering.

Mainboard-listed Courts Asia is offering to buy back its S$75 million worth of 5.75 per cent notes due 2019 at 100.75 per cent of the principal amount, an announcement revealed.

The firm said that their existing cash surplus will be utilised for the buyback deal which will be managed by DBS.

“The proposed transaction is part of the company's continuing capital and liability management initiatives,” Courts Asia commented. “The company is of the view that it is prudent to explore the early redemption of the notes via this proposed transaction.”

Noteholders who will give their consent for the buyback before the early consent fee deadline at 5 pm on 13 July will be paid 0.25% of their principal amount whilst those who will agree to the deal after the said deadline will receive the 0.15% normal consent fee.

The buyback offer is set to end on 20 July.

Courts Asia said the proposed transaction is part of its continuing capital and liability management initiatives.

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.
