SLT to raise Rs. 7bn via debentures 
Fitch Ratings has assigned Sri Lanka Telecom PLC's proposed senior unsecured debenture issue of up to Rs. 7 billion an expected National Long-Term Rating of 'AAA (lka) (EXP)'.
The debentures will have a tenor of 10 years and carry fixed coupons. The debentures will be listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange, with the proceeds to be used to refinance its short-term debt and fund SLT's capital expenditure plans.
SLT's senior unsecured debt is rated at the same level as its National Long-Term Rating, as the debentures rank equally with other senior unsecured obligations. The final rating is subject to the receipt of final documents conforming to information already received.
