Oxley seeks smaller Royal Wharf refi


„ Loans Borrower offers more generous pricing on up to US$225m financing

Developer OXLEY HOLDINGS is wooing lenders
with a smaller refinancing of up to US$225m
for a property development in London and
more generous pricing than that offered on
an earlier attempt in July.
Sole mandated lead arranger and
bookrunner Deutsche Bank has relaunched
the two-year financing with an interest
margin of 275bp over Libor, 25bp more
than the pricing offered on a loan of up to
US$250m that was originally launched three
months ago.
It is not clear if the earlier attempt
attracted any lenders before Deutsche
relaunched the deal earlier this month.
The financing carries first lien mortgage
against Royal Wharf Phase II and III, which is
under construction.

The deadline for commitments is
November 14. A bank presentation was held
in Singapore last week.
Oxley International Holdings, Oxley
London, Oxley Wharf Property 1, Oxley
Wharf Property 2, Oxley Wharf Property
3 and Oxley Wharf Property 4 are the
guarantors of the financing, which will
be used to refinance a US$200m senior
secured three-year term loan completed in
late 2016.
Deutsche Bank was also the MLAB
and underwriter of the 2016 bullet loan,
which attracted four other lenders – China
Minsheng Banking Corp and Qatar National
Bank as MLABs in senior syndication, and
Chang Hwa Commercial Bank and Taiwan
Cooperative Bank as arrangers at the lower

level. That loan had offered a top level all-in
pricing of 383.33bp based on an interest
margin of 300bp over Libor.
The refinancing is among a slew of loans
Oxley has tapped this year. The borrower
is also seeking a S$317m (US$230m) 4.5-
year loan to fund the redevelopment of
Mayfair Gardens, a private residential estate
in Singapore. HSBC and Maybank are the
MLABs of the borrowing, which is expected to
launch into limited syndication soon.
Listed on the Stock Exchange of
Singapore, Oxley Holdings is a developer
of high-end residential, commercial and
industrial projects in Singapore, the UK,
Ireland, China, Cambodia, Malaysia,
Myanmar, Indonesia and Japan.
