By Rebecca Melvin

New York, Nov. 9 – PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero) priced $4 billion of senior notes in four tranches due 2021, 2023, 2028 and 2048 (Baa2//BBB-), according to a syndicate source on Friday.

Joint bookrunners of the Rule 144A and Regulation S notes were BNP Paribas, Citigroup and MUFG (joint global coordinators) along with CIMB, Maybank, SMBC and Standard Chartered Bank.

The $1 billion tranche of 5.23% three-year notes priced at 99.263 to yield 5˝%, or a yield spread of U.S. Treasuries plus 247.1 basis points.

The $1.25 billion tranche of 5.71% five-year notes priced at 98.763 to yield 6%, or a spread of Treasuries plus 291.9 bps.

The $1 billion tranche of 6.53% 10-year notes priced at 97.534 to yield 6 7/8%, or a spread of U.S. Treasuries plus 363.6 bps.

And the $750 million tranche of 6.757% 30-year notes priced at 92.575 to yield 7 3/8%, or a spread of Treasuries plus 393.3 bps.

There is a change-of-control put at 101% if the government of Indonesia ceases to directly or indirectly own and control at least 75% of the company’s shares. There is also a put in the event of default if the company ceases to own at least 51% of shares.

Proceeds are earmarked to buy shares in PT Freeport Indonesia under a plan to acquire a direct and indirect majority stake in PTFI, and/or refinance acquisition debt, or to fund the special mandatory redemption.

Batubara, Indonesia-based Asahan Aluminium, known as Inalum, is a state-owned aluminum smelter.
