New Issue: Thailand’s Indorama sells 15 billion baht perpetual debentures with 7% initial rate

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Oct. 31 – Indorama Ventures PCL announced it completed an offering of subordinated perpetual debentures totaling 15 billion baht on Friday.

The five-year debentures carry a coupon of 7% for the first five years, after which the interest rate will be adjusted.

The debentures are callable.

The Bangkok-based company said this is the first perpetual debenture issued by a private sector company in Thailand and the largest issue of perpetual debentures in Thai baht.

The issue will strengthen the company’s capital structure and improve its liquidity. The company plans to use the proceeds to repay debt, to invest in growth projects and for general corporate purposes.
