Desk Analyst Comments on VEDLN - Vedanta Resources (VRL) proposes to issue 7NC2 144A/Reg S USD bonds (B2/ - /B+) to extend debt maturity and lower funding costs. Proceeds will prepay USD550mn due - Apr'26 private credit facility (PCF) in Oct'25, with excess for debt repayment and general corporate purposes [6]. - The new VEDLN 32s will be issued by Vedanta Resources Finance II Plc and guaranteed by VRL, Twin Star, Welter Trading, and a newly added Vedanta Holdings Mauritius II which holds 12.6% of Vedanta Limited (VEDL). The subsidiary - guarantor group's stake in VEDL increases to 53.6% from 40.99%, and the incurrence debt cap for subsidiary guarantors increases to USD5.2bn (excluding inter - company loans) from USD4.0bn. The new bonds will rank pari passu with existing USD bonds [7]. - Assuming new issue of USD500mn, draw down of USD250mn syndicate facility and prepayment of USD550mn PCF, VEDLN's near - term refinancing pressure will be largely relieved, with no major maturity in the remaining of FY26, cUSD300mn in FY27 and cUSD450mn in FY28.
