New Issues : If Oxley & Aspial Can, So Can Banyan Tree

23/07/2013 by

With a heavy heart, I see Aspial re-opening.

**ASPIAL CORP LTD SGD TAP: UPDATE #1**

– Reopening of Aspial 5.00% Fixed Rate Notes Due 22 July 2016
(ISIN:SG57A6994608)
– Tap announced at guidance price of 100.00 area
– This week’s business, as early as today
– Existing ASPSP 5 16 currently at 100.50/101.00 (4.82%/4.64%)

I have said all I wanted to say about Aspial before and I am not in the business of dispensing financial advice.

COMPS
BANYAN TREE 6.25% 2017   103.05 / 5.35%
HONG FOK     4.75% 2018   100.25 / 4.68%
OXLEY        5.10% 2017    99.25 / 5.3%

Banyan Tree has done well turning into a profit in the past 2 years with their strategy of asset sales and deleveraging. Very commendable indeed compared to where they were a few years back.

It has been an impressive turnaround story and I cannot say here how much my opinion of them has changed since their first few issues which found very little favour among the institutional buyers (except for 1, I believe).

Hardly fair to compare them to Oxley at all.

  It has and will always be a PB bond.
  And they are generous with their rebates. Dont ask me how I know but this rebate is stingy compared to the last one.

Banyan Tree Final Size SGD 70 mio. Final Coupon 5.75%.
They have SGD 64 million in bonds and loans due this year. So that should sort it out.

  Hahah they do NEED THE MONEY U KNOW ?
  2/3 of their income goes to paying the interest on their debt.
  Still an honest business compared to the other name which I will not utter because I have been warned that they are “connected” and I do not want red paint on my wall.
