Stockland has also secured new, long-dated USPP notes to the equivalent value of A$351 million, with funding to be delivered in April 2019.
The USPP issuance comprised three tranches in US dollars of 10, 12 and 15 years totalling US$250 million. The transaction was priced in Australian dollar terms at a weighted average spread over BBSW of +170bps (exclusive of fees). Details of these tranches are as follows:
-
US$115 million with a tenor of 10 years maturing April 2029;
-
US$115 million with a tenor of 12 years maturing April 2031 and
-
US$20 million with a tenor of 15 years maturing April 2034.
Tiernan O’Rourke, Chief Financial Officer at Stockland, said: “These issuances replace maturing short-term debt following the completion of the renegotiation of the Group’s debt documentation, including the updating of terms and conditions to be consistent with the market and our peers.
“These raisings reconfirm Stockland’s ongoing ability to access global debt capital markets at attractive prices and long tenors supporting the delivery of our strategic priorities.
“Combined, these transactions will reduce the Group’s overall weighted average cost of debt, while lengthening its weighted average debt maturity profile,” said Mr O’Rourke.
Stockland’s pro-forma Weighted Average Debt Maturity profile at 31 December 2018 would increase from 5.3 to approximately 5.8 years, taking into account these transactions.
