HONG KONG, April 24, 2020 – Lenovo Group (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced the successful completion of a landmark issuance of US$650 million in bond notes on the Regulation S bond market.
The bonds, which saw significant interest from fixed-income investors from across the globe, will be used to refinance RMB 4 billion of debt due to mature in June 2020, as well as meet general mid- to long-term corporate development needs. The bonds have a five-year maturity at a coupon rate of 5.875% per annum. The order book was oversubscribed by a factor of 3.8 times.
In an otherwise weak capital market, the success of this transaction illustrates investor confidence in Lenovo’s global performance and future strategy. It also recognizes the company’s leadership given this is the first unrated benchmark transaction opening up the Asia Regulation S market.
Commenting on the issuance, Lenovo CFO Waiming Wong, said: “The success of this landmark deal recognizes the strong sustainable long-term business Lenovo has, not only based on our past results but also the growth opportunities that lay ahead. We continue to demonstrate that we can thrive despite global market uncertainties.”
