Sekisui House Reit raises $34.3M in green-linked loans to refinance debt

Sekisui House Reit has arranged ¥5.15 billion in green-linked bank borrowings from MUFG Bank and Mizuho Bank. The loans, a mix of short- and long-term facilities with floating rates linked to JBA 1-month yen TIBOR, will mature between 2027 and 2033. The proceeds will refinance existing debt, including redeeming a ¥2 billion unsecured investment corporation bond due in September 2026 and refinancing ¥3.15 billion in borrowings maturing in August 2026. Total interest-bearing liabilities remain unchanged at ¥284 billion, indicating a restructuring of the company's debt rather than balance-sheet expansion. The unsecured, unguaranteed loans feature monthly interest payments and include provisions for potential early repayment under certain conditions.

Dubai Islamic Bank raises $750M in debut syndicated Islamic financing

Dubai Islamic Bank has closed its debut syndicated Islamic financing facility, raising $750 million through a three-year senior unsecured Commodity Murabaha term facility. The transaction attracted approximately $1.2 billion in commitments, representing 1.6 times oversubscription. HSBC Bank Middle East, Mizuho Bank and Standard Chartered served as initial mandated lead arrangers, bookrunners and coordinators. The facility was secured at competitive pricing despite challenging global market conditions and regional geopolitical uncertainty. The transaction marks a significant milestone in the UAE bank's funding strategy, diversifying its institutional funding sources through a Shariah-compliant structure. Strong participation from regional and international banks reflects confidence in DIB's credit profile and balance sheet strength, the bank stated. The facility will support DIB's long-term growth objectives.
