China’s top insurer Ping An seeks to raise US$3.5 billion via convertible bond sale
By Stella
Ping An Insurance (Group), China’s largest insurer by market capitalisation, is turning to the convertible bond market to raise US$3.5 billion, joining a raft of Chinese companies tapping cheaper funding sources amid high interest rates.
The bonds, due in 2029, have a coupon rate of 0.875 per cent per year, and the initial conversion price is HK$43.71 per share on the maturity date, according to a filing on Tuesday. That represents a 21.3 per cent premium over the closing price of HK$36.05 on Monday, the company said.
