By Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., March 22 – Cromwell Property Group priced €230 million of seven-year convertible bonds with a coupon of 2.5% and an initial conversion premium of 7.5% after the market close on Wednesday, according to a company news release.

The bonds will be issued by Cromwell subsidiary Cromwell SPV Finance Pty Ltd.

The deal came at the cheap end of talk for a coupon of 2% to 2.5% and a conversion premium of 7.5% to 12.5%.

The bonds are convertible into the company’s stapled securities with a conversion price of A$1.177. The maximum number of stapled securities that may be issued upon conversion without security holder approval is 94,103,065.

The bonds are puttable on Aug. 1, 2022.

They will be listed for trade on the Singapore Exchange Securities Ltd.

Proceeds will be used to repurchase up to €150 million of the company’s convertible bonds due 2020. The company has already agreed to repurchase €92.7 million of the convertible bonds due 2020.

The company has the option to redeem any remaining bonds due 2020 at par if 10% or less of the original amount is outstanding.
