Saudi Electricity Co. (SEC) intends to issue senior unsecured USD-denominated sukuk under its international sukuk issuance program, a statement to Tadawul said.
 
 
The company plans to hold fixed-income investor meetings starting from Feb. 10.
 

Subject to market conditions, these meetings may be followed by a sukuk issuance under its international sukuk program, through a special-purpose vehicle, targeting qualified investors in Saudi Arabia and internationally.

 

SEC stated that its board of directors approved the issuance on Dec. 17, 2024.

 

The company appointed HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), Mizuho Financial Group, MUFG, SMBC, Intesa Sanpaolo, Alistithmar Capital, BofA Securities, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), BNP Paribas, Emirates NBD Capital, Natixis, Dubai Islamic Bank PJSC, Bank of China, and SNB Capital as joint lead managers for the potential offering.

 

SEC noted that the final issuance size will be determined based on market conditions and the company’s funding needs. The proceeds will be allocated for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and/or financing the company’s eligible green projects under its Green Sukuk Framework, as outlined in the final terms of the offering.

 

The issuance remains subject to regulatory approvals and will be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

This announcement does not constitute an offer, invitation, or solicitation to purchase, acquire, or subscribe to any securities and is subject to the sukuk’s terms and conditions, SEC emphasized.

 

The company confirmed that any material updates will be disclosed in due course in accordance with applicable regulations.
