GIB Capital , acting as joint lead manager and joint bookrunner with Riyad Capital , has successfully closed Ajil Financial Services Company's privately placed SAR500 million Sukuk, issued via Ajil Cayman - a limited liability special-purpose company incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
The inaugural Sukuk has a 3-year tenor with an amortising structure and pays a coupon of 3-month SIBOR plus 80 basis points quarterly. The Sukuk was issued at par.
Srinivas Vemparala, Chief Executive Officer of GIB Capital , commented: "We are pleased to have assisted Ajil in arranging their debut Sukuk. This 'off balance sheet' Sukuk is an innovative structure incorporating a credit wrap in the form of a Purchase Undertaking from Gulf International Bank (GIB) and Riyad Bank. The underlying creditworthiness of the structure along with the credit enhancement provided by the Purchase Undertaking received a very positive response from investors."
