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 final rating of the Sukuk is in line with Alaqaria's Issuer Default Rating of 'BBB+' published on 3 July 2007.
The rating action follows a review of the Sukuk's final terms and conditions, confirming information already received when Fitch assigned the expected rating of 'BBB+' on 06 June 2007.
The Sukuk, which follow a Mudaraba structure, ranks pari passu with Alaqaria's existing senior unsecured debt. Fitch notes that although the Sukuk have been issued via an SPV, they 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 purchase undertaking agreement include a limitation on the consolidated tangible net worth and negative pledge clauses.
