Siyapatha Finance PLC announced yesterday a move to raise up to Rs. 5 billion through the issuance of listed, rated debentures.

In a filing with Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), the company disclosed that its Board of Directors approved the issuance of 30 million listed, rated, senior, unsecured, redeemable debentures at Rs. 100 each, with provisions to expand the offering to 50 million debentures (Rs. 5 billion) in case of oversubscription.
