Qatar Alaqaria Sukuk Company is a special purpose vehicle formed by Qatar Real Estate Investment Company Q.S.C. (also trading under the name and henceforth referred to as 'Alaqaria'); a Qatar based real estate investment company. The expected rating of the Sukuk is in line with Alaqaria's Issuer Default Rating of 'BBB+' published on 3 July 2007. Please see Fitch's separate announcement on www.fitchratings.com.
The final ratings are contingent upon receipt of final documents conforming to information already received, as well as receipt of satisfactory legal opinions.
The Sukuk, which will follow a Mudaraba structure, will rank pari passu with Alaqaria's existing senior unsecured debt. Fitch notes that although the Sukuk is to be issued via an SPV, they will have de facto access to the cash flows of Alaqaria, and therefore are exposed to the credit risk of Alaqaria. Proceeds from the Sukuk will be used to invest in new projects and to retire bilateral borrowings.
The terms and conditions of the Sukuk documentation include a limitation on the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth and Negative Pledge clauses. The governing law is English law and the jurisdiction is the courts of England.
