By Rebecca Melvin

New York, June 19 – Jollibee Worldwide Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Jollibee Foods Corp., has priced a $600 million dual-tranche offering of 5.5-year and 10-year notes, according to a company news release.

The $300 million 5.5-year notes priced with a coupon of 4 1/8%, and the $300 million tranche of 10-year notes priced with a coupon of 4¾%.

Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, BPI Capital Corp., Credit Suisse and UBS acted as joint lead managers and joint bookrunners for the Regulation S deal.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including unforeseen eventualities that may be caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and to fund initiatives of the company’s group of businesses.
