Firm lists N5b Bond on FMDQ

FMDQ lists N300bn Dangote industries’ bonds 

CardinalStone Partners Limited has listed the CardinalStone Financing SPV Plc N5 billion Series I Bond on FMDQ Securities Exchange Limited (the “FMDQ Exchange”).

The company closed its Series 1 Bond, which is the lowest priced bond by any non-bank financial institution for a similar tenor in the last 10 years.

The Bond, which is the first tranche of the company’s N10 billion Bond Issuance programme, is a five-Year seven per cent Fixed Rate Senior Unsecured Bond due in 2025.

By virtue of this listing, the company’s bond has been admitted to the Daily Quotations List of the FMDQ and this means that investors who already hold the bonds can trade them. New investors have an opportunity to buy the bonds on the secondary market.
