The changes, approved by the company's Administrative Committee, apply to NCDs issued under ISINs INE140A07831 and INE140A07849.
Revised Coupon Rate Structure
The company has implemented a dynamic coupon rate system linked to its credit rating:
For Downgrades:
- 0.25% per annum increase for each notch below AA down to A+
- 1.00% per annum increase for downgrades from A+ to A
For Upgrades:
- 1.00% per annum decrease for upgrades from A to A+
- 0.25% per annum decrease for each notch from A+ to AA
This revised structure aims to align the interest rates with the company's credit risk profile, providing a balanced approach for both investors and the company.
Updated Mandatory Redemption Criteria
Piramal Enterprises has also modified its mandatory redemption event clause. The company will now be required to redeem the debentures if:
- The long-term credit rating is suspended or withdrawn
- The rating is downgraded to or below A- (four notches below the current AA rating)
This change provides additional security for investors by ensuring redemption in case of significant credit quality deterioration.
Implementation and Impact
These modifications apply to NCDs currently rated AA. For coupon rate adjustments, the most conservative available rating will be considered. The changes reflect Piramal Enterprises' proactive approach to debt management and transparency with its investors.
These revisions to the NCD terms demonstrate Piramal Enterprises' commitment to maintaining a balanced risk profile while offering fair terms to its debt investors. The step-up/step-down coupon rate mechanism provides a clear framework for interest rate adjustments based on the company's credit rating performance.
