STENA AB

Affirming Chase’s marketing mantra that “the right relationship is everything”, Chase has completed a $225 million five year private placement at 6.75% for Stena AB. The interest rate appears low because notes are secured by the company’s new drilling rig Stena Tay and the unit’s five year contract with a subsidiary of Shell. Proceeds will be used to pay down the company’s revolving credit facility. Chase recently closed a $150 million facility for Stena Sphere tanker owner Concordia Maritime. The facility was priced at 139 basis points over Libor and proceeds were used for the newbuilding V-Maxs as well as to refinance Concordia’s HBL ships formally owned by DK Lugwig.
