Sygnus Credit brings in US$50m capital raise

(Jamaica Observer Article: Kingston, Jamaica)

Despite seeking a new round of funding close to the yuletide season and in one of the quietest years in recent times on the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE), Sygnus Credit Investments Limited (SCI) was able to rake in US$50.25 million (J$7.78 billion) to fund its pipeline of private credit deals and next round of growth.

The St Lucian registered company had published its cumulative redeemable preference share prospectus on November 13 where it had sought US$25.10 million (J$3.99 billion). The offer which opened on November 20 and had an original closing date of December 6 was extended to December 15 due to the offer being oversubscribed. It’s now been revealed on the basis of an allotment published on Friday that SCI’s three classes of preferred shares received US$51.05 million (J$7.91 billion) in applications from investors.
