LONDON - Saltaire Finance PLC has announced the cancellation of £85 million in principal amount of its 1.527 percent guaranteed secured bonds, which were due in 2051/2053. The cancellation, which was disclosed today, reduces the aggregate outstanding principal amount of these bonds to £265 million. Following the cancellation, no retained bonds remain held by or on behalf of the issuer.
The bonds, identified by ISIN XS2407294748, were part of a £6 billion Guaranteed Secured Bond Programme guaranteed by the UK Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government. The cancellation is in line with the terms and conditions set forth in the programme memorandum and pricing supplement dated June 9, 2021, and November 22, 2021, respectively.
The cancellation reflects a reduction in the volume of bonds originally issued under the programme. The retained bonds were initially held back for potential future use but have now been formally removed from the market. This move effectively reduces the potential supply of these specific bonds, as no additional bonds from this tranche will be available for purchase by investors or reissued by the company.
The announcement was made by Helena Whitaker of CSC Directors (No.3) Limited, on behalf of Saltaire Finance PLC, in compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation as part of UK domestic law. This regulation requires the timely disclosure of inside information that could potentially influence the price of the company's bonds.
Investors and market participants may view this cancellation as a routine part of bond programme management. Such cancellations can occur for various reasons, including changes in financing needs or market conditions. The information provided is based on a press release statement from Saltaire Finance PLC.
