Tencent markets US dollar and dim sum bonds in four tranches

Tencent Holdings, the Chinese technology giant, has announced plans to market US dollar bonds, offshore Chinese yuan bonds, or dim sum bonds, and Treasuries in four tranches. The term sheets indicate that Tencent is seeking funding in two currencies - the US dollar and the Chinese yuan.

For the 10-year US dollar bonds, Tencent is targeting an initial yield of about 115 basis points over comparable US Treasury bonds. Similarly, for the 20-year US dollar notes, the company aims for a yield around 140 basis points over Treasuries.

In the case of the dim sum bonds, Tencent has set an initial yield guidance of around 2.90 per cent for the 10-year notes and 3.50 per cent for the 30-year notes. The 10-year offshore yuan notes are expected to yield around 2.90 per cent while the 30-year notes are anticipated to yield about 3.50 per cent.
