据哈特能源3月11日消息，据业内消息人士称，沙特阿美公司董事会本周将在沙特阿拉伯召开会议，届时将批准一项债券发行计划，该计划可能有助于为沙特石化产品制造商SABIC公司的股权收购提供资金。

沙特能源部长Khalid al-Falih表示，全球最大石油生产商沙特阿美(Aramco)计划在2019年第二季度发行首批国际债券，发行量可能在100亿美元左右。

两名知情人士称，该公司的代表预计将于4月份在债券路演中与固定收益投资者会面。

预计这笔交易将全部或几乎全部收购沙特最大的主权财富基金——公共投资基金(Public Investment Fund)持有的SABIC 70%的股份。这意味着此笔交易价值约为700亿美元，不过收购价格尚未公布。

沙特阿美董事会还将批准该公司2018年的财务业绩，这很可能与该公司的石油和天然气储量一起列入债券招股说明书。

Saudi Aramco’s Board To Meet To Approve SABIC Bond Plan

Saudi Aramco’s board is set to meet this week in Saudi Arabia where it will approve a bond issuance plan that could help finance the potential acquisition of a stake in Saudi petrochemicals maker SABIC, industry sources said.

Aramco, the world’s top oil producer, plans to issue its first international bonds in the second quarter of 2019 and the issuance will probably be around $10 billion, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih has said.

The company’s representatives are expected to meet fixed-income investors in a bond roadshow in April, two sources familiar with the matter said.

The deal is expected to involve the purchase of all, or nearly all, of the 70% stake in SABIC held by the Public Investment Fund, the kingdom’s top sovereign wealth fund. That implies a deal value of roughly $70 billion, though the acquisition price has not been made public yet.

The Aramco board of director will also approve the 2018 financial results for the company, which is likely to be included in the bond prospectus along with the firm’s oil and gas reserves.
