Singapore IPOs: Why I No Longer Cover Every Listing

Some readers may have noticed that I have not been writing about every Singapore IPO since last year. The simple reason is that life has become busier. Between my day job, an increasingly packed travel schedule, family commitments and desire to play more golf, I have become much more selective about how I spend my time.  Writing detailed IPO reviews takes time — reading prospectuses, analysing financials, comparing valuations and understanding the competitive landscape. While I still enjoy investing and writing, I no longer feel the need to cover every IPO that comes to market. Instead, going forward, I will probably focus only on IPOs where I am seriously considering investing my own money or where there is something particularly interesting that is worth discussing.

Hyflux 6% p.a. Perpetual Capital Securities - Balloting Results

Hyflux announced that its public offering of Perps were oversubscribed by around 3x and as a result, the overall offering was upsized the tranche to $500m. All investors who applied will receive something. The Perps will start trading on 30 May 2016 at 9am.

Ms Olivia Lum (林爱莲), Executive Chairman and Group CEO of Hyflux, said, "We would like to thank investors for the enthusiastic subscription for the Offer, and thereby believing and participating in our growth as we continue to execute our strategies and strengthen our global leadership position in providing sustainable solutions in the areas of water and energy." 

The balloting ratio is as follows:

 
Not sure if it is a good thing to issue such a large tranche. The effect is that everyone is allocated and that Hyflux has raised sufficient funds to redeem the prior Perps (see announcement below). Let's see how the Perps perform on Monday ^_^

just heard from a seminar that Huflux was just in Iran together with Singapore delegation.

Just wonder how they are going to repay such a high interest? Someone may enlighten me.
Q1: If they are so profitable why can't they use the earnings to repay the 3.5% outstanding notes issued on 3rd July 2008 and also 4.8% outstanding perpetual cost?
Q2: Since 2008 the interest for debts raised was 3.5%, 4.8% and now 6%? Isn't the interest repayments ballooning?

Some projects are design, build, own and operate and hence will require huge initial capital. The company will only be able to reap the full benefits in the later years.
