The convertible bond has a maturity of 7 years and cannot be called for the first three years of the life of the security, callable thereafter subject to a 125 per cent provisional call. Coupon and conversion premium will be set at pricing, which is expected to occur today. The bond will be placed with institutional investors outside the US in reliance on Regulation S. Goldman Sachs International and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited are the bookrunners on the transaction. Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited will be Stabilisation Manager for the offering.
