Singtel’s Optus prices $160m in 10-year notes

Proceeds will be used to fund Optus' regular business operations.

Singtel has announced that its subsidiary Optus, through Optus Finance Pty Limited, has priced $160m in 10-year fixed rate notes.

The notes, due 25 July 2035, will carry a fixed coupon of 2.726% per annum and are guaranteed by Optus and certain subsidiaries. Issued under Optus Finance’s EUR3b Euro Medium Term Note Programme, the notes will be denominated in Singapore dollars.

Proceeds will be swapped into Australian dollars and used to fund Optus' regular business operations.

The issuance is part of Singtel’s strategy to extend its debt maturity profile.

OCBC acted as the sole lead manager and bookrunner.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
