Vista Land raises $125M via debt issue

By |



Villar-led property developer Vista Land & Lifescapes has raised $125 million from the fresh issuance by a subsidiary of new five-year debt notes intended for listing on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Ltd. (SGX).


In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange Thursday, VLL said its wholly owned subsidiary VLL International, Inc. (VLLI) had reopened its 7.45-percent senior guaranteed notes due 2019 issued last April 29. The new debt notes will be consolidated and form a single series with these older notes.


The issuer, VLLI, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. The notes are guaranteed by the parent company VLL as well as other subsidiaries Brittany Corp., Camella Homes Inc., Crown Asia Properties Inc., Communities Philippines Inc. and Vista Residences Inc.


VLLI will issue the additional notes on or around Sept. 11 at an issue price of 102 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued interest from April 29, the issue date of the original notes, to the settlement date. This will represent a yield to maturity of 6.935 percent annum, the disclosure said.


“The net proceeds from the issuance will be used to finance the company’s capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes,” the company said.


For 2014, VLL’s capital expenditures are expected to reach P21.6 billion.


VLL International will apply to list the new notes on SGX soon after the settlement date as practicable, the disclosure added.


DBS Bank Ltd. distributed about 91 percent of the additional notes outside the Philippines.
