MCB Capital Markets, the investment banking and asset management arm of MCB Group, the largest banking group in Mauritius, is pleased to announce that it acted as Lead Advisor and Arranger for the establishment of MaxCity Property Fund Ltd and the issue of MUR 800 million 'A' rated bond under a MUR 1 billion Medium Term Note Programme.
The transaction, a MUR 800 million 10-year bond, comprises a rated senior tranche of MUR 600 million and a junior tranche of MUR 200 million. The senior tranche received a Provisional Single A (Structured Obligation) rating with Stable Outlook (Provisional CARE MAU A (SO) Stable) from CARE Ratings (Africa) Ltd.
