Jollibee Foods Corp. is raising fresh funds from the overseas bond market with the planned issuance of five-year US dollar-denominated notes.
Jollibee said in a disclosure to the stock exchange Monday its wholly-owned subsidiary Jollibee Worldwide Pte. Ltd. (JWPL) mandated four banks to arrange a series of fixed-income investor meetings.
“A Regulation S only 5-year U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured guaranteed notes offering may follow, subject to market conditions,” Jollibee said.
A Regulation S offer means the securities are executed in countries outside the United States. It can be used for the issuance of equity or debt securities to raise capital.
The fast food firm engaged J.P. Morgan Securities Asia Private Limited and Morgan Stanley Asia (Singapore) Pte., BPI Capital Corp., The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Singapore Branch to act as joint lead managers and book runners for the offering.
