Subscribe to newsMoscow, 17 September 2019. PJSC SIBUR Holding, Russia’s largest integrated petrochemicals company, announces the successful float of five-year Eurobonds worth $500 million on the Irish Stock Exchange. The initial coupon rate, set at 3.75% per annum, decreased to 3.45% per annum during the book-building. Coupon payments will be made every six months. The Company intends to use the funds to continue carrying out its growth strategy and to optimize its credit portfolio.
Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Gazprombank and Sberbank CIB acted as lead coordinators and book runners, while Banca IMI SpA was the lead manager. The total demand exceeded $1.3 billion. The Company’s Eurobonds were purchased by global investors, more than half of which were foreign ones (Russia, 41%; Continental Europe, 26%; Asia and MENA, 15%; the UK 11%; the USA, 7%). Moody’s rated the bonds at Baa3, while Fitch gave them a rating of BBB-.
Alexander Petrov, SIBUR’s Managing Director for Economics and Finance and a member of the Company’s Management Board, noted: “Since the Company placed its first Eurobonds back in 2013, SIBUR has undertaken a substantial transformation of its business, implementing large-scale investment projects and forming a solid foundation for long-term sustainable growth. While its business developed, the Company’s indebtedness remained at a comfortable level. I am pleased to announce that we have taken another successful step in public capital markets, and I am grateful to investors who value our business model, which ensures sustainable growth”.
