ESR(01821.HK)資產負債水平強健 擬回購不超10%股份
格隆匯3月20日丨ESR(01821.HK)發佈公告,於2020年2月,公司與領先的國際銀行簽訂一項新的融資協議,內容有關一筆2.5億美元的三年期無抵押定期貸款融資,按倫敦銀行同業拆息加3.00%的利率計息(已於2020年3月悉數提取)。該筆貸款將由集團用於撥付營運資金需求以及用於一般企業用途。
於2020年2月,公司亦根據20億美元多幣種債券發行計劃發行本金總額2.25億新加坡元每年5.10%於2025年到期的固定利率票據,與公司股份於2019年11月在香港聯交所進行全球發售前於2019年2月進行的公司上一次新加坡元債券發行相比,此利率代表公司的借貸成本降低了超過150個基點。
根據對集團截至2019年12月31日止年度未經審核綜合賬目的初步審閲及董事會目前可獲得的資料,集團的現金及銀行結餘約為8.8億美元而淨債務對總資產比率約為27%。
公司相信,公司擁有充足資本,資產負債水平強健,當可在資本受限的環境中積極尋求戰略增長機遇。在電子商務的持續增長此因素及公司遍及亞太地區之極多元化資產組合的支持下,公司的相關業務基礎因素保持強勁。憑藉公司的輕資產方針、一流的資本合夥人和強健的資產負債水平,公司相信其已作好充分準備,當可把握當前市場錯位提供的機遇。
公司稱,其擬行使股東根據2019年10月12日通過的股東決議案所授予的購回公司股份的一般授權,以不時在公開市場購回股份。股份購回將僅在發佈公司全年業績後進行。根據購回授權,董事會可購回最多達緊接全球發售完成後已發行股份總數的10%。
考慮到公司對其財務狀況、業務基本因素及前景充滿信心,董事會相信公司目前的股價遠低於其內在價值。在當前市況進行股份購回將印證公司看好未來前景,最終將使公司受益併為股東創造價值。股份購回將由公司以其目前可用現金撥付。董事會相信,公司目前的財務資源將讓其能夠進行股份購回,同時保持穩健的財務狀況以促進集團營運的持續增長。
