Arabian Centres raises $500 mln via debut Islamic bond - Reuters:

Saudi shopping mall operator Arabian Centres has raised $500 million via its debut international Islamic bond sale, part of a $1.9 billion refinancing exercise.

The issuance was four times oversubscribed, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

Arabian Centres started marketing the Islamic bond on Tuesday with an initial price guidance of 5.75%, which was later reduced to 5.5-5.625%, documents by one of the banks leading the deal showed.

The bond or sukuk coupon rate eventually shrank to 5.375%, reflecting hefty demand.
