Chartered completes convertible

A debut convertible for Chartered Semiconductor has been priced a day early after books were closed ten times oversubscribed.
A $350 million transaction for the foundry manufacturer was upsized to $500 million and priced just before the opening of trading in Singapore yesterday (Wednesday) at the tightest end of amended terms.

With a fixed coupon of 2.5%, the five-year bullet deal has a conversion premium of 33% to a spot price of S$4.90 (27% to 33% indicated) and a yield-to maturity of 5.25%, against an indicative range that was revised from between 5.5% and 6% to 5.25% and 5.5%. There is hard no call for two years and thereafter subject to a 125% hurdle.
