On 2 November 2017, HNA Group (International) Company Limited, (the “Company”) successfully priced a Reg S US$300mm 363-day short-term senior unsecured bond offering (the “Transaction”), with AMTD acting as the Joint Bookrunner and Joint Lead Manager.

This demonstrates that the international capital market recognized the Group’s strong credit profile and prudent business development.
