First Metro Investment Corporation lists its P7 billion Fixed Rate Corporate Bonds due November 2017 and August 2019 on the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp. (PDEx).
First Metro is the first investment house to have its debt listed on PDEx, debuting last December 2011 with its listing of the first fully principal-covered corporate bond issue secured by government securities which was structured for listing and public distribution. During the 2012 PDS Annual Awards Night, the First Metro Bond 17 was awarded the “Innovative Corporate Bond Issue of the Year”, one of the six awards won by First Metro.
The latest bond issuance is broken down into P3 billion worth of seven-year bonds and P4 billion worth of five-year and three-month bonds. The seven-year bonds have a fixed interest rate equivalent to 5.75% per annum while the five-year bonds have a fixed interest rate equivalent to 5.50% per annum. The bonds qualify as securities exempt from registration under the Securities Regulation Code.
First Metro president Roberto Juanchito Dispo said, “The First Metro Bonds was very well received by the market with an oversubscription of over 40%, driving up demand from the original issue size of P5 billion to P7 billion. It generated interest from a wide and varied investor base – banks, foundations, insurance and trust companies, retirement and mutual funds, corporates, high net worth individuals and retail buyers. The biggest clamor however came from retail investors as 65% of the bonds was sold to them through the trust departments of 11 banks that participated in the debt sale.”
Proceeds from the debt offer will be used by First Metro to lengthen the company’s deposit tenor base.
Standard Chartered Bank is the sole bookrunner and underwriter for this transaction.
This listing on PDEx, the ninth for the year, brings the year-to-date new corporate and bank debt listings to P97.85 billion, and the total level of tradable corporate and bank debt instruments to P273.23 billion issued by 16 companies, with 45 securities.
