KUALA LUMPUR: ASIAN PAC HOLDINGS BHD [] (AsianPac), via its unit Syarikat Kapasi Sdn Bhd, on Monday, June 14 obtained the Securities Commission's approval to issue RM200 million five-year commercial papers/medium-term notes (CP/MTN) that will be guaranteed by Danajamin Nasional.

AsianPac obtained the SC approval the same day its principal adviser and lead arranger Affin Investment Bank Bhd submitted the proposal to the regulator.

AsianPac said the CPs would be issued at a discount to face value while the MTNs would be issued either at par, at a discount or at a premium to the face value.
