Toyota Financial Services Philippines Corp. (TFSPH), the automotive financing and leasing arm of GT Capital Holdings, Inc. (GT Capital), successfully raised ₱5 billion after its minimum ₱2 billion fixed-rate bonds offering was 3.5 times oversubscribed.
GT Capital disclosed to the Philippine Stock Exchange that this strong market reception prompted TFSPH to exercise the oversubscription option and accelerate the close of the offer period.
TFSPH has listed the bonds, comprising 2-year Series A and 3-year Series B bonds, on the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation (PDEx).
“Our maiden issue in the Philippine capital markets marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey,” said TFSPH President Rommel J. Ocampo.
He noted that, “With over two decades of experience in the Philippine automotive financing industry and the full support of our shareholders – Toyota Financial Services Corp. (TFSC) and GT Capital Holdings, Inc. – we are delighted by the overwhelming response from investors, which underscores the market’s trust and confidence in our stability and growth prospects.”
“This achievement reinforces our commitment to supporting Toyota customers and dealer partners nationwide and establishes us as an even more competitive leader in the industry,” Ocampo added.
The bonds, the first tranche under its ₱20 billion bond program, have tenors of two and three years, with coupon rates of 5.7725 percent and 5.9418 percent per annum, respectively.
TFSPH received an issuer credit rating of PRS Aaa (Corp.) with a Stable Outlook from Philippine Rating Services Corp.
First Metro Investment Corp., a member of the GT Capital group, and ING Bank N.V. Manila Branch (ING) are the joint lead arrangers and bookrunners for the transaction.
They are also the selling agents for the offering of the Bonds together with Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. and BPI Capital Corp.
