ASX Announcement
3 November 2021
DALRYMPLE BAY INFRASTRUCTURE PRICES A$514 MILLION US PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure Limited (ASX:DBI) ( DBI or the Company ) announces that Dalrymple Bay Finance Pty Ltd, its wholly owned financing vehicle, has priced A$514 million of fixed rate senior secured notes in the US Private Placement market ( Notes ).
The Notes will be issued in three tranches of approximately A$185 million, A$215 million and A$114 million, with tenors of 10, 12 and 15 years, respectively. The Notes will rank pari passu with DBI’s existing senior secured debt.
Pricing was completed on 3 November 2021 and execution of documentation, which is expected before the end of November 2021, is subject to standard investor due diligence. The transaction is expected to fund in 1Q-CY22, subject to customary closing conditions.
All US dollar proceeds from the Notes will be swapped into Australian dollars utilising cross currency interest rate swaps. The proceeds of the Notes will be used to repay drawn balances under revolving facilities and for general corporate purposes, noting DBI’s commitment to retain an investment grade balance sheet.
This debt issuance has a weighted average tenor of 11.95 years and will extend DBI’s weighted average debt maturity. It is expected to be issued at a weighted average margin over BBSW that is below the weighted average margin of DBI’s 2020 USPP issue which had a weighted average tenor of 9.76.
Commenting on the outcome, DBI’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Anthony Timbrell said: “ We are delighted with the continued strong level of support from investors in the USPP market which allows us to further extend the average tenor of our debt book in line with DBI’s long-term treasury strategy. ”
