- The company is raising almost US$400 mln (net of expenses) via a 5-year 2.5% convertible bond  issue, with a conversion price set at 88.96 cents,  ie 28% conversion premium.

- Given the company's ambitious program in the African continent, and where interest rates are, it is no surprise Golden Agri should want to raise capital.

- The issue is mildly positive for the  range-bound stock (eg weakish palm oil prices have not been helpful):
a. the 561.11 mln new shares to be issued in the event of full conversion represent 4.4% of current issued capital of 12.84 bln shares.
b. based on the 1.84 cent dividend for 2011, yield on the stock is 2.6%.

- Largely because of the weak palm oil prices, Golden Agri's profit fell 40% in Q2 '12.

- We have a BUY on the stock.
