[DEAL] We implemented a novel hybrid bond structure for Hong Kong property developer Hysan Development Company Limited Development. This is a significant milestone for Hysan as it navigates the global hybrid capital markets with a pioneering global-first approach. Hybrid bonds are securities that feature both debt and equity characteristics. This issuance is the first transaction globally that successfully achieved a 1-notch issue rating outcome under Moody Investor Services’ revised hybrid methodology published in February 2024, which has a perpetual maturity. Hysan conducted a concurrent public tender offer for its outstanding US$750 million junior subordinated perpetual securities which has its first call date in June 2025. The highly successful tender offer received a total of US$690 million of instructions. In January this year, we also led another Hong Kong-based corporate in issuing a hybrid bond and we are one of only two banks to play a lead role on both transactions. These transactions showcase our continued commitment to offering clients best-in-class solutions through innovation and expertise.
