Lead managers sign pact for RM4.5b Islamic programmes

KUALA LUMPUR: Maybank Investment Bank Bhd, the lead arranger for Sime Darby Bhd’s Islamic debt issues that amounted to RM4.5bil, announced yesterday the signing of the programmes with joint lead managers CIMB Group and Public Investment Bank Bhd.

The programme was approved by the Securities Commission on Sept 24.

“The Islamic programme is structured based on the widely accepted Islamic finance principle of Musyarakah, which is very popular with local and international capital market players,” Maybank president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar said in the statement.

He said the strength of the AAA-rated Islamic programmes reflect Sime Darby’s position as a leading conglomerate and the world’s largest listed oil palm plantation group.

He expressed confidence that investors would find the notes issued under the Islamic programmes a “premier investment and a valuable contribution to their bond portfolio and investment strategy.”

Proceeds from the exercise would be utilised to finance Sime Darby’s acquisitions and capital expenditure, working capital, as well as to refinance certain debts obligations.
