Hot on the heels of this morning's announcement that Christchurch International Airport is seeking to raise up to $75 mln via a retail bond offer, Auckland International Airport has announced they are seeking expressions of interest for up to $100 mln.
Auckland International Airport had a $50 mln issue mature earlier this month (7 November) and it is believed this new offering will replace that.
In their announcement to the NZX, Auckland International Airport indicated the bonds would be unsecured unsubordinated fixed rate bonds with an expected maturity of 2019 (7-year tenor).
The only other details we know at this time are the lead manager is ANZ and the co-manager is Forsyth Barr.
It is expected full details of the bond issue will be released within the next week.
No money is currently being sought and no applications for Bonds will be accepted or money received unless the subscriber has received an Investment Statement. Indications of interest will not involve an obligation or commitment of any kind.
