Alibaba raises $5bn in Asia's biggest bond sale since May
Alibaba Group raised $5 billion in Asia's largest bond offering in eight months, with the multi-tranche offering priced at a narrower spread than initial price guidance on strong demand, according to persons familiar with the situation. The Jack Ma-controlled e-commerce giant raised $1.5 billion in 10-year notes at 100 basis points over equivalent U.S. Treasuries, $1 billion in the 20-year tranche at 100 points, $1.5 billion in 30-year paper at 120 points and $1 billion in 40-year notes at 130 points, they said. Demand exceeded $30 billion, the same sources said. Initial price guidance for the planned 10-, 20-, 30-and 40-year notes was set at around 130 basis points, 140 basis points, 150 basis points and 160 basis points, respectively, over U.S. Treasuries. Alibaba's offering the biggest by an Asian company since rival Tencent raised $6 billion in May is still smaller than initial plans for an $8 billion raising. It comes a little over a month after China launched an antimonopoly investigation against Alibaba. The offering also follows the company's latest earnings report on Tuesday, in which it posted a forecast-beating 37% year-on-year increase in revenue and 27% rise in profit for the quarter ended December 2020.
Sentiment was boosted after media reports on Wednesday said that Alibaba's affiliate Ant Group had agreed with regulators on an overhaul that will turn it into a financial holding company. Alibaba held cash and short-term investments of almost $70 billion as of Dec. 31, much of it onshore in Chinese renminbi, according to its quarterly earnings statement. Proceeds from the bond offering will be used to repay offshore debt, acquire other companies, and enhance working capital, the company said in a regulatory filing. Two notes worth a combined $1.5 billion are due on Nov. 28, according to Capital IQ. Alibaba also increased its share buyback program from $6 billion to $10 billion in December and has been investing in startups as well as pouring money into expansion at home and abroad to parry mounting competition.
