Clarification of News Report

We respond to your letter seeking our clarification and/or confirmation on the news article entitled “Ayala to offer P5b more in notes” posted in manilastandard.net on July 17, 2017. The article reported in part that:

“Property giant Ayala Land Inc. plans to raise another P3 billion to P5 billion in short dated-debts after successfully generating P4.3 billion from the issuance of the pioneering short term financial instrument.

Ayala Land chief finance officer Augusto Bengzon said in an interview at the sidelines of the listing of P4.3 billion worth of short-dated notes due 2019 the company planned to issue similar offerings as early as next month.

. . . .

Bengzon said the company because of the strong demand instructed underwriters to come up with a follow-up offering to be issued as early as next month, with the size ranging from P3 billion to P5 billion.

‘This is actually more cost-effective. It’s longer at 21 months versus commercial papers. The coupon is 2.75 percent versus short term loans of anywhere between 2.6 to 3.25 percent. I believe the cheapest short term loans are in the vicinity of 6 percent if you do a survey of all the banks. So Ayala Land gets very preferential short term rates, but this one is even more preferential, given that it’s quite cheap,’ Bengzon said.
