Osim rolls out $170m zero-coupon unsecured convertible bonds due 2019

The bonds have a conversion price of $3.525 per new share.

Mainboard-listed OSIM International today revealed that its S$170 million in principal amount of zero-coupon unsecured convertible bonds due 2019 have been fully placed to institutional and accredited investors.

The convertible bonds will be convertible into new OSIM ordinary shares at an initial conversion price of S$3.525 per new share. The initial conversion price has been set at a 25% premium over the closing price of S$2.82 per share yesterday.

Upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds, a total of approximately 48,226,950 new Shares will be issued, representing 6.19% of OSIM’s existing issued and paid-up share capital as at 26 August 2014.

OSIM intends to use the net proceeds of the issue to roll out and enhance its well-being and lifestyle business in Asia and beyond, finance potential strategic acquisitions which OSIM may pursue as part of its strategic objectives and general working capital.

Here’s more from OSIM:

In addition, OSIM has granted the sole bookrunner, HSBC an upsize option of up to S$30 million of the Convertible Bonds. This option will expire by 18 September 2014 or such later date as may be agreed between OSIM and HSBC, not being later than 2 October 2014. If fully subscribed, it represents an additional 1.09% of OSIM’s existing issued and paid-up share capital as at 26 August 2014.

“Following the conversion of our prior convertible bond issue, OSIM has seen strong demand from investors for a second issue. In light of this demand and the very competitive terms offered, OSIM is pleased to now offer this second issue. The net proceeds from this issue will provide OSIM with tremendous financial flexibility. For the current business, OSIM is continuing with the roll out and enhancement of our well-being and lifestyle business in Asia.

For investment opportunities, we will continue an extensive review of opportunities in Asia and beyond whilst maintaining a cautious stance to ensure that any investment enhances shareholder value. The balance of the funds will be utilised for general working capital purposes.” Said Ron Sim, Founder & CEO of OSIM

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
