AMTD completes another two bond offerings for China South City

On 17 May and 28 May 2018, China South City Holdings Ltd.

The Company has been a repeated client for AMTD. By completion of the these two transactions, AMTD has assisted the Company with five successful transactions in the past two years, demonstrating AMTD's leadership in the international debt capital markets and prominent execution capabilities to tap the offshore USD bond market, as well as ability to retain business relationships for repeat business.

The Transactions were directly issued by the Company with guarantees and share pledges from its certain non-PRC subsidiaries. The funds raised will be used for the debt refinancing and general operating capital of the existing developing projects. The Company is rated B / B (S&P / Fitch), while the issue ratings are B- / B (S&P / Fitch). Benefiting from its unique flexible business model and solid credit profile, the company has successfully priced a US$150mm bond on 17 May, 2018.
