    THIS month, on Jun 24, Singapore Airlines (SIA) will redeem the last of the mandatory convertible bonds (MCBs) it issued to ride through the pandemic.

    SIA on May 15 said that holders of these remaining MCBs will receive just over S$1.74 billion – 112.616 per cent of the principal amount they stumped up in 2021.

    The full gross proceeds SIA received from the issue of these MCBs of S$1.55 billion will be used to fund the redemption.
