Israel’s B Communications gets commitments for NIS 1.85 billion notes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 14 – B Communications Ltd. said it received binding commitments to sell NIS 1.85 billion of its series C debentures due November 2024 to institutional investors.

The annual coupon of 3.6% was set in the tender. That coupon will be the maximum coupon in the Israeli public tender for the debentures, expected to be held on Sept. 18, according to a press release.

The company said it will limit acceptance of offers in the public tender to NIS 150 million, such that total proceeds of the offering will not exceed NIS 2 billion.

Proceeds will be used to redeem the company’s outstanding dollar-denominated senior notes and will strengthen the company’s balance sheet.

Ramat Gan, Israel-based B Communications holds a controlling interest in Bezeq, Israel's incumbent telecommunications provider.
