SYDNEY, July 30 (IFR) - SABMiller (Xetra: BRW1.DE - news) , a London-based multinational brewing and beverage company, has announced an offering of Australian dollar five-year medium-term notes via joint lead managers ANZ and Westpac.
Price guidance has been released at 135bp area over asset swaps for a trade due to price later today or tomorrow.
Although the issue, through FBG Treasury (Aust) Pty Ltd, is technically a domestic corporate offering, investors will treat it like a rare corporate Kangaroo because its global parent company is the guarantor.
