These notes are rated B2 by Moody's Investors Service, B by Standard and Poor's Ratings Services and B+ by Fitch Ratings.
They will be issued by the group's subsidiary, Geo Coal International Pte Ltd, on Oct 4, 2017 and are expected to be listed on the Singapore Exchange on Oct 5, 2017.
JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Citic CLSA Securities and BOC International acted as the joint bookrunners and joint lead managers for the notes offering.
