Olam International Limited has announced its plans to issue $100m subordinated perpetual securities, which will be consolidated with its existing $250m perpetual securities, issued last January.

The issue price is set at 100.01 per cent of the aggregate principal amount, in addition to the accrued interest from 18 January 2021 to the issue date.

Its distribution rate is 5.375% annually until 18 July 2026.
