Broadpoint Capital, Inc., a broker-dealer subsidiary of
Broadpoint Gleacher Securities Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPSG) today
announced that it acted as sole bookrunner in connection with the
offering by REI Agro Limited of US$ 105 million of Foreign Currency
Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) with international investors . The bonds,
due 2014, carry an interest rate of 5.5 per cent per annum. The
bonds were sold under a combination of Regulation S and Regulation
144A of the U.S. Securities Act. ISM Capital LLP, a London-based
investment banking boutique, acted as financial advisor to REI
Agro. Last month, Broadpoint.Gleacher announced its agreement to
acquire ISM, subject to FSA approval, and to create Broadpoint
International in connection with its international initiative.
REI Agro, the world’s largest basmati rice processing and
marketing company, reported FY09 revenues of US$ 481.3m and net
profit of USD$ 12.0m. The proceeds of this FCCB offering are
intended to be used for financing the growth plans of REI Agro,
including an increase in the company’s processing capacity.
Sundip Jhunjhunwala, CEO of REI Agro, commented on the
transaction, “We are delighted to be one of the first midcap Indian
companies to successfully raise FCCB’s since the credit crunch.
This capital raise will position us well to implement our growth
strategy. Broadpoint and ISM Capital have been instrumental in
helping us complete this transaction and have engaged international
investors of the highest calibre. We believe this transaction will
create significant value for both REI and investors.”
Cliff Siegel, CEO of ISM Capital, added, “We are delighted to
have partnered with Broadpoint in such a significant transaction
and look forward to our becoming part of the Broadpoint.Gleacher
team upon the closing of Broadpoint.Gleacher’s acquisition of ISM.
We have been pleased with the response that we have had from
investors and look forward to meeting the financing needs of growth
companies as activity in markets such as India returns.”
KNG Securities LLP and Jermyn Capital Partners acted as sales
agents in the transaction.
