Investors get comfy with OSIM S$170m convertible

OSIM International has issued the first convertible bond from Singapore in 12 months in what has been a sparse year for issuance out of southeast Asia. That rarity value, combined with the strong performance of the borrower’s previous CB, generated strong demand that allowed the borrower to increase the deal size to S$170m ($136m). But the borrower still preferred quality over volume.
