Vedanta Resources (VRL) has launched a roadshow to market its USD 144A/RegS benchmark-sized notes (likely to be 5NC2 or mainly 5NC2, and/or 7NC3), with a potential total size of USD 1.5 bn. The proceeds will be used to refinance the USD 13.875% 2027 notes (USD 470 mn outstanding) and USD 13.875% 2028 notes (USD 1,008 mn outstanding). VRL has sent a conditional redemption notice to trustees of the 2027 notes and 2028 notes, assuming the proposed notes issuance is successful.​ VRL has concurrently launched a tender offer for the 2027 and 2028 notes.  We expect the proposed 5NC2 notes to price at c. 10%, and the 7NC3 notes at c. 11%.
