SATS prices US$500m worth of bonds at 4.828%

The bonds are due in five years.

SATS has priced its inaugural issue of US$500 million senior unsecured notes due 23 January 2029 at 4.828%.

“The notes are immediately converted into Euros through a cross-currency swap to achieve a fixed rate of 3.498% per annum to match the currency of the existing bridge loans to hedge the company's foreign currency exposure,” SATS explained.

SATS will list the notes on the SGX-ST on 24 January.

SATS will use the net proceeds from the notes issuance to refinance part of its existing €1b ($1.5b) bridge loans maturing in May 2024.

The notes represent the first issuance of SATS’ US$3b multicurrency debt issuance programme established on 17 November 2023, known as the EMTN Programme.

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.
