The bonds will pay a fixed rate of 8.25% p.a. and have a final maturity of five years but can be called by the issuer after three or four years at $103.00 and $101.50 respectively. There is also an investor put at $101.00 in the event of a change of control.
The new issue is expected to settle and commence trading in the secondary market on or about 17 April 2014.
FIIG is the Sole Lead Arranger for this transaction with the bonds available to wholesale investors only in minimum subscription amounts of $50,000. However, once trading commences the bonds can be transacted in $10,000 face value minimum parcels.
Any (wholesale) investors who missed out on the initial bond offer or who want to trade in the secondary market should contact their FIIG representative.
These CCL bonds represent the eighth issue FIIG has brought to our clients and we hope to continue to bring exclusive offers in the fixed income asset class going forward.
