Placement to institutional investors – The yield of 3.30% represented a tightening of -16 basis points from the initial price guidance at the start of the book-building. The placement size of S$2.45 billion was at the top end of the targeted issuance size, backed by a combined placement orderbook of about S$6.0 billion (2.45 times the size of the amount offered under the placement). A diverse mix of high- quality institutions invested in the Jun-54 bond. Citigroup Global Markets Singapore Pte. Ltd., DBS Bank Ltd. (DBS), The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited Singapore Branch, Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited, and United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB) were the bookrunners for the transaction.
Public Offer to individual investors – The Jun-54 bond will be open for applications from individual investors from 9:00a.m. on 23 May 2024 to 12:00 noon on 27 May 2024. S$50 million of the Jun-54 bond will be offered to the public. The effective yield will be 3.30%, as determined through the institutional book-building process1. This entails a price of S$99.053 per S$100 in principal value, based on the Jun-54 bond’s coupon rate of 3.25% per annum. Individual investors who wish to subscribe to the Jun-54 bond should review the product details carefully, and assess whether the risk/returns and characteristics of long- tenor bonds meet their financial needs. Investments in SGS, including the Jun-54 bond, bear market risk. If investors sell the bond before its maturity date, they may receive less, or more, than their original investment, as the market price of the bond may rise or fall with changing market conditions.
- All applications for the Public Offer should be made using the Electronic Securities Application (ESA) or Initial Public Offer (IPO) Application, which is available via the application channels3 of DBS (including POSB), Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC), and UOB.
