INA to decide on bond issue this month
Friday 10:16, March 12th, 2010
Croatian oil group INA is still discussing a possible convertible bond issue and a decision is likely to be made later this month, the company said.

INA's biggest shareholder is Hungary's MOL with some 47%, while the Croatian government owns 44%. Croatian Finance Minister Ivan Suker said in January that INA would issue €200 million ($271.4 million) of convertible bonds by March.

The funds raised would be used to pay overdue taxes and finance the company's operations. It was not immediately clear if the bond issue was the only option, or whether INA could seek funds through other means, such as a loan from its biggest shareholder, MOL.

INA's bond issuance would be one of the only few major corporations to make such issues on European Union candidate Croatia's local market in recent years. (Reuters)
