The issuance of ₹1,500 crore in debt can have a significant impact on the company's capital structure and financial obligations. While it's for refinancing, it represents a substantial amount that influences the company's financial leverage and liquidity.
The announcement details the approval of a debt issuance for refinancing purposes, which is a routine financial activity and does not inherently suggest a positive or negative change in the company's outlook. The terms are clearly defined.
GMR Airports Limited, formerly GMR Airports Infrastructure Limited, announced that its Management Committee of the Board of Directors has approved the issuance of 1,50,000 Listed, Unsecured, Rated, Redeemable Non-Convertible Bonds (NCBs) with a 5% coupon. These INR denominated bonds will have a face value of ₹1 Lakh each, aggregating up to ₹1,500 crore (15000 million), and will be issued on a private placement basis.
The tenure for these NCBs is up to 36 months, and the purpose of this issuance is to refinance existing NCBs of the company, which also aggregate up to ₹1,500 crore. The coupon will be paid annually until the redemption date. The NCBs will not carry any special rights or privileges and will be redeemed at maturity with a redemption premium as per their terms. These NCBs are set to be listed on the WDM segment of BSE Limited.
The company also confirmed that there has been no delay or default in the payment of interest or principal for previously issued NCBs.
