– Reopening of existing Ezra Holdings SGD200m 5.00% due 09/15 announced at 5.00% area on the back of positive enquiries from accounts for this well known repeat issuer
I would feel slightly betrayed by this reopening because just before today it was trading at 100.80-101.30. Why is Ezra feeling so generous today when they could possibly raise money at closer to 4.55% ? Does ring some alarm bells too ? To be tapping the shorter tenor of 2015 when the logical thing would be to extend out as far as they can to their 2018 issue ?
Good carry for the new buyers. Bad news for the existing holders unless they buy more which reminds me of all those rights issues in 2009.

3.90% ? 5Y ? In a market where >4% is commonplace suddenly, with more than enough >4% issues to choose from ?
Unquestionably a better company, in my opinion, than Guoco at the moment. And I shudder at this headlines out of Hiap Hoe.
Sept. 6 (Business Times) — INTEGRATED property developer Hiap Hoe Limited expanded its overseas portfolio with a A$105
million (S$122.2 million) acquisition of a mixed use retail and office asset in the Central Business District of Melbourne,
Australia.
That is half their market cap !
