Straits Trading prices $130m notes at 4.70%

The notes are due in 2029.

The Straits Trading Company has priced its $130m worth of notes due 2029 at 4.70%.

The Series 005 notes issued are under the programme established by Straits Trading on 13 October 2011 and updated on 3 July 2017.

The REIT will issue the notes on 24 January and mature five years from the issue date.

The notes will be available to institutional and accredited investors.

In a bourse filing, the company said it would use the net proceeds from the issue of the notes “for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of existing borrowings and the financing of working capital and capital expenditure requirements of the Issuer and its subsidiaries.”

Until the company uses the proceeds, it intends to invest the funds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments.

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.
