New Issue: Partner Communications sets discount rate on NIS 150 million 2.16% add-on issue

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Sept. 18 – Israel’s Partner Communications Co. Ltd. said the discount rate will be 0.65868% for its add-on series F debentures to be issued in the deferred private placement.

As a result, the uniform weighted discount rate according to a formula that weights the discount rate for the debentures with the discount rate as set in the issue of the tack-on issue is 0.19697%, according to a company announcement.

Also on Monday, the company added that S&P Global Ratings Maalot Ltd. has given the deferred tack-on placement an ilA+ rating.

The company said on Sept. 13 that it agreed to sell another NIS 150 million of series F debentures on Dec. 4 in a private placement to some Israeli institutional investors.

The price was set at NIS 1.003 for each NIS 1 par amount for total proceeds of NIS 150.45 million, reflecting an effective yield of 2.366% per year.

In addition, the company will pay the institutional investors an early commitment fee. If the debentures' rating on the agreed date is il/(A-) or below, there will be a discount of about 1% on the price given.

As reported, the issuer originally sold NIS 254.55 million of the series F debentures at par on July 19 with a coupon of 2.16%.

The company had launched a public offering in Israel of up to NIS 300 million of the series F debentures.

The original proceeds from the Regulation S securities were to be used to increase the company’s liquidity so that it can meet scheduled debt repayments, according to a previous announcement.

Partner Communications is a Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel, mobile communications operator.
