I think so. The A+ rating will help them big time in accessing cheap credit. They can easily acquire one or two millers and hopefully get Tarda running on much cheaper interest rate than they would pay on the bond.

BBI will solve it :)

Not cheap but cheaper... Best option is a Bond if long-term financing required!

Why a bond and at what rate?
I think they can easily access financing at below 4%p.a. interest externally hoping they don't mess up line EAPC.

I'm seriously not a fan of debt financing... I much prefer equity financing as it has negligible long term implications...

Rate depends on Term & Currency.

Why a Bond? Does not dilute existing shareholders. Plus they can issue a series of Bonds as needed instead of a huge Equity Raise...

As for bank loans... if they match Bonds in term + interest rate then a-ok...

@vvs, bond also better because we are sure the management will use it well because it is under strict supervision by the bondholder. Management has no accountability to shareholders and can just fritter away equity and get away with it.
