New Issue: Steinhoff prices ZAR 1.5 billion 9.625% seven-year convertibles to yield 11.522%, up 32.5%

By Rebecca Melvin

New York, May 21 - South Africa's Steinhoff International Holdings Ltd. priced ZAR 1.5 billion of seven-year convertible bonds on Wednesday at par with a coupon of 9.625% to yield 11.522% for an initial conversion premium of 32.5%, according to a syndicate source.

Pricing came at the midpoint of talk, which was for a coupon of 9.375% to 9.875% and an initial conversion premium of 30% to 35%.

Barclays Capital was the bookrunner of the bonds, which have a ZAR 225 million over-allotment option.

The bonds are non-callable for three years and provisionally callable thereafter subject to a 130% hurdle. There are no puts, except a change-of-control put.

The bonds, which are expected to be listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange, will be convertible only into shares.

Steinhoff, a diversified industrial company, plans to use proceeds for general corporate purposes, including appropriate earnings-enhancing refinancing and balance sheet optimization.
