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

– This week’s business, as early as today

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.

Banyan Tree will be very hot!
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.
Orders from my platform were already $15m.
Fingers crossed.
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.
BANYAN TREE 5.75% 2018 100/100.20 indic. UOB 4.9% 101/101.25 indic.
Aspial – No Idea.
