SPH converts programme issuances from notes to debt

The Bank of New York Mellon replaced British and Malayan Trustees as the trustee.

Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) has converted its $1b multicurrency medium term note programme into a debt issuance programme, an announcement revealed. Following the change, SPH may issue securities in series or tranches that will be used for capex and corporate requirements.

Moreover, British and Malayan Trustees will resign as the programme’s trustee and will be replaced by The Bank of New York Mellon, Singapore.

OCBC’s role as the issuing and paying agent, paying agent, and calculation agent will be taken over The Bank of New York Mellon, Singapore as CDP issuing and paying agent, CDP calculation agent, CDP transfer agent, and CDP registrar; The Bank of New York Mellon, London as non-CDP issuing and paying agent and non-CDP calculation agent; and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg as non-CDP transfer agent and non-CDP registrar.

Meanwhile, DBS will join OCBC as the programme’s existing arranger and dealer.

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.
