AmInvestment Bank Berhad ('AmInvestment Bank') has won Alpha Southeast Asia's third Annual Deal and Solution Awards for the Most Innovative Deal of the Year in Southeast Asia (for 1Malaysia Development Berhad's RM5.0 billion Islamic Medium Term Notes issue) where it was the Principal Adviser and Lead Manager. It has also won the award for Best Islamic Financing Deal of the Year in Southeast Asia (for Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad's RM2.2 billion Islamic Medium Term Notes programme) where it was Joint Lead Manager, Joint Bookrunner and Joint Shariah Adviser. The awards presentation ceremony was held in Kuala Lumpur recently. The 1Malaysia Development Berhad deal set a new benchmark in the Malaysian bond market as the first 30-year issue ever in Malaysia, contrasting against the longest dated issue then of 20 years. It is the single largest Ringgit-denominated Islamic issue of 2009 and the largest Malaysian Government-guaranteed bond issuance in a single tranche.
Mr T C Kok, Managing Director, AmInvestment Bank Berhad said, "We share these honours with our clients who have given us the opportunity to work on two remarkable deals which set new benchmarks in the marketplace while providing investors with the opportunity to access high-quality government guaranteed Islamic medium term notes."
The third edition of the Alpha Southeast Asia annual Deal and Solution Awards has announced 30 awards for both local and foreign banks across Southeast Asia, in addition to 15 borrower/issuer awards. |
