Adeem to sell $210m in Islamic bonds

by Reuters on Monday, 28 May 2007

Kuwait's Adeem Investment Co. aims to raise $210 million by selling Islamic bonds that are convertible into units of a fund that will invest in hotels and resorts, Adeem said on Sunday.

Adeem, which was part of a group that bought luxury British car maker Aston Martin for 479 million pounds ($925 million) in March, will also raise $140 million by selling ordinary units in the fund, it said in a statement.

Investors must buy $20,000 worth of sukuk, or Islamic bond, units for every $10,000 of ordinary fund units they buy, Adeem said. Each unit costs $1,000.
