Gunvor Supports Growth With USD 500 mil. Inaugural Bond

Not for publication or distribution in the United States, Japan or in any other jurisdiction in which offers or sales would be prohibited by applicable law.

Gunvor Group has successfully priced a USD 500 mil. bond as a part of the company’s strategy to diversify and strengthen its financial foundation and long-term capital structure. Strong demand for the offering came from both retail and institutional investors, resulting in a final order book of over $2.75 bil. The significant oversubscription enabled Gunvor to upsize the offering from an originally announced size of $300 mil. to $500 mil.

The instrument has a 5-year tenor with a maturity date of 2018, and a 5.875 percent coupon. It is Reg S only, and will be listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs International, ING and Societe Generale Corporate and Investment Banking were joint bookrunners.

Gunvor Group is one of the world’s largest independent commodities trading houses by turnover, creating logistics solutions that safely and efficiently move physical energy from where it is sourced and stored to where it is demanded most. With strategic investments in energy infrastructure-refineries, pipelines, storage, terminals and coal mining-Gunvor further generates sustainable value across the global supply chain for its customers.
