Qatar Petroleum has raised $12.5 billion in a multi-tranche bond offering, the proceeds from which will be used to support the company’s growth plans, particularly the North Field expansion projects over the coming few years.
The RegS/144A bond offering (sales to investors outside the United States in offshore transactions) consists of 5-, 10- and 20-year conventional tranches, and a dual-listed 30-year Formosa tranche. Strong interest and favourable market conditions together with its outstanding credit ratings, allowed Qatar Petroleum to achieve the following positive outcome:
• 5-year $1.5 billion at UST+50bps (Coupon: 1.375%)
