GLOBAL food and agri-business Olam International announced on Wednesday night that it has priced a S$100 million reopening of its 4 per cent fixed rate senior unsecured notes due Feb 24, 2026 via a private placement exercise.

This increases the total bond size to a benchmark quantum of S$600 million, consolidating and forming a single series with existing fixed-rate senior unsecured notes.

The reopening offering will be issued at par, plus accrued interest from the issue date of the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 notes. It is payable semi-annually in arrear. The notes are scheduled to be issued on Feb 3, 2021.

Proceeds from the issuance will be used by Olam for debt refinancing and general corporate purposes.
