Minibond Payout Values

The payout value of the various Minibond series was announced yesterday. Depending on which Minibond tranche you held, the percentage of recovery will range from 21.5% to 70.8%.

Tranche Series Percentage Recovery* (%)

Series 01 Tranche A (SGD Notes ) 21.5
Series 01 Tranche B (USD Notes) 24.0
Series 02 Tranche A (SGD Notes) 62.4
Series 02 Tranche B (USD Notes) 70.8
Series 03 Tranche A (SGD Notes) 55.9
Series 03 Tranche B (USD Notes) 64.0
Series 03 Tranche C (AUD Notes) 47.3
Series 05 (SGD Notes) 29.8
Series 06 (SGD Notes) 40.0
Series 07 (SGD Notes) 59.5
Series 08 (SGD Notes) 63.1
Series 09 (SGD Notes) 57.7
Series 10 (USD Notes) 62.4

I had expected about 50-60% recovery values for the different series and the majority indeed does fall into that range. Series 1 and 5 Minibond holders are the worst off in the amount they are getting. The series with the most number of investors are series 2, 3 and 5.

Payments to the noteholders will be made on 12 February 2010. The actual date that you receive your payment will depend on whether you hold a direct account with CDP or whether you hold the Notes through a nominee account.
