<\/strong>Aramco issued a fresh USD-denominated bond yesterday under its global medium term<\/strong> note program<\/strong>, raising USD 5 bn over three tranches, Reuters<\/a> reported, citing fixed income news service IFR. Proceeds will go to general corporate purposes, and the Reg-S compliant paper will be listed on the London Stock Exchange, according to a Tadawul disclosure.<\/p>\n

The breakdown:<\/strong> The oil giant priced the USD 1.5 bn five-year tranche at 80 bps over US treasuries, compared to an initial price point of 115 bps. The 10-year notes raised USD 1.25 bn and were priced at 95 bps, down from 130 bps. Finally, the longest-dated 30-year tranche \u2014 valued at USD 2.25 b \u2014 was priced at 155 bps over US treasuries, compared to the initial 185 bps. <\/p>\n

REFRESHER-<\/strong> The move, which is subject to market conditions and regulatory approvals, comes nearly a year after<\/a> Aramco last tapped the debt market with a USD 6 bn international bond sale.<\/p>\n

Why now?<\/strong> Aramco\u2019s return to the debt market comes as the oil giant navigates a dip in earnings, posting a 4.6% y-o-y drop<\/a> in its 1Q net income. Aramco was also said to be weighing asset sales<\/a> to unlock capital amid plans for international expansion. <\/p>\n
