It was the first time Tencent, Asia’s second-most valuable company by market capitalisation, raised 40-year debt in its history. “When I saw that headline come up while the Tencent book was still open I thought to myself ‘is that going to be unhelpful?’ I thought it might have been, but it turned out that it didn’t have an impact,” said one banker, who declined to be identified and worked on the deal.
The final pricing for each of the tranches was tighter then intiially expected, according to term sheets circulated while the deal was being concluded.
