The maturity date of the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond is Tuesday, 24 November 2026.

100% of the principal amount, and the last interest payment, will be due upon redemption – that is, on the maturity date (24 November 2026).

The T2026-S$ Temasek Bond may be redeemed prior to maturity by Temasek for taxation reasons. Bondholders will be paid 100% of the principal amount together with accrued interest up to (but excluding) the date of redemption.

The T2026-S$ Temasek Bond may also be redeemed prior to maturity by Temasek at a “make whole” amount together with accrued interest up to (but excluding) the date of redemption. The “make whole” amount is an amount equal to the greater of:

1. the principal amount of the bonds being redeemed; or

2. the amount determined by discounting the principal amount of the bonds plus all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such bonds at the make whole call reference rate set out in the Pricing Supplement, plus a spread specified in the Pricing Supplement.

The make whole call allows the Issuer to redeem the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond early before the maturity date by paying bondholders a lump sum “make whole” amount together with accrued interest up to (but excluding) the date of redemption.

In the event a “make whole” call is exercised, Temasek will calculate the “make whole” amount you will be paid which is the greater of:

1. the principal amount of the bonds being redeemed; or

2. the amount determined by discounting the principal amount of the bonds plus all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such bonds at the make whole call reference rate set out in the Pricing Supplement, plus a spread specified in the Pricing Supplement.

To date, Temasek has never exercised a make whole call on any Temasek Bond.

Full details of the make whole call are set out in the terms and conditions of the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond set out in the Offering Circular (page 100), read with the Pricing Supplement.

Frequency of interest payments

The interest payment for the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond is due to be paid on or around 24 May and 24 November each year. If the payment date is not a business day*, payment will be made the following business day. Bondholders will not be entitled to any additional interest or other amount in respect of any such postponed payment.

Please refer to the table below for the indicative interest payment dates – these dates are subject to changes to the public holiday schedule.

Unless the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond has been previously redeemed and cancelled, or purchased and cancelled by the Issuer, the principal amount will be due for repayment to each bondholder on the maturity date (Tuesday, 24 November 2026), if not redeemed earlier by the Issuer, together with the last interest payment.

Interest payments will be made to the person who is the registered holder of the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond on the fifth (5th) business day before the interest payment date (record date). For example, the record date of the first interest payment on 24 May 2022 is 17 May 2022. If you buy the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond after the record date and before the interest payment date, you will not be entitled to receive the interest payment on such interest payment date.

* “business day” means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday or public holiday) on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business in Singapore.

1 board lot of the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond comprises S$1,000 in principal amount with the issue price being S$1 per S$1 in principal amount.

The examples below are purely illustrative, and in particular, expenses and fees (if any) have not been taken into account in order to illustrate the different measures. Do also read the Offering Circular and Pricing Supplement in full to understand the risks involved.

You will be entitled to receive half yearly interest payments, for as long as you own the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond as of the record date for the relevant interest payment.

If you were allocated the bond at issuance and intend to hold till maturity:

Your return per annum will be 1.8%

Return over the life of the bond = annual return x tenor of the bond (in years) = 1.8% x 5 = 9% 

If you purchased the bond in the secondary market and/or intend to sell before maturity:

1) Yield-to-maturity (YTM), by far the most widely used return measure in the bond market, combines the interest payments of a bond and the capital gain/ loss from holding the bond to maturity

YTM is a widely used return measure in the bond market, which factors in interest payments, the time to maturity, face value of the bond, and the capital gain/loss from holding the bond to maturity.

A bond's YTM is the internal rate of return required for the present value of all the future cash flows of the bond (face value and interest payments) to equal the current bond price, as follows:

Bond’s present value/bond price =

Where C = interest payment; n = total number of 6-month interest periods; Bond face value = S$1,000

As an illustration, if you had bought 1 board lot of the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond with 2 years left to maturity at S$0.950 and held it until maturity,

YTM = 4.44%

with your capital gain at maturity approximately equal to [(S$1.000 x 1,000) – (S$0.950 x 1,000)] = S$50 and total gain at maturity (having received 4 interest payments) approximately equal to [(S$50 + (S$8.93 + S$9.07 + S$8.93 +S$9.07)^1] = S$86.

You may also choose to look at other measures of returns for bonds, including:

2) Taking into account capital and interest gains

Assume you sold the bond 1 year later (having received 2 coupon payments):

Return = [(Capital gain/loss + Total interest payments) / Cost] x 100%

Where:

Capital gain/loss = (Selling price – Purchase price) x No. of units

Cost = Purchase price x No. of units

Total interest payments = Half-yearly interest payment x 2 = S$9 x 2 = S$18

(a) an appreciated market price of S$1.010,  

Return = [(Capital gain + Total interest payments) / Cost] x 100% = {[(S$1.010 - S$1.000) x 1,000 + S$18] / (S$1.000 x 1,000)} x 100% = 2.8%

(b) a depreciated market price of S$0.990,  

Return = [(Capital loss + Total interest payments) / Cost] x 100% = {[(S$0.990 - S$1.000) x 1,000 + S$18] / (S$1.000 x 1,000)} x 100% = 0.8%

3) Current yield: relating annual interest of the bond to its market price

If the market price of the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond is S$0.990, its current yield would be approximately equal to [S$18 / (S$0.990 x 1,000)] x 100% = 1.82%, which is greater than the interest rate of 1.8%. 

Conversely, if the market price of the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond is S$1.010, its current yield would be approximately equal to [(S$18 / (S$1.010 x 1,000)] x 100% = 1.78%, which is less than the interest rate of 1.8%. 

Footnotes:

1 Actual interest payments will vary depending on number of days in each interest payment period. See “How much interest do I receive each period?” below for more information.

The interest is payable half yearly at the end of every 6 months. If the date falls on a weekend or public holiday, the payment is due on the following business day. Temasek will make a Coupon Payment announcement on SGX approximately one month ahead of payment. You may refer to these announcements for the respective payment dates.

The interest payment is calculated proportionately as [(Number of days in the 6-month period)/365 days of the year] x 1.8% x bond principal amount.

The interest is payable half yearly at the end of every 6 months. 

If the date falls on a weekend or public holiday, the payment is due on the following business day. Temasek will make a Coupon Payment announcement on SGX approximately one month ahead of payment. You may refer to these announcements for the respective payment dates.

The amount of interest that is payable depends on the principal amount of the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond you hold. The principal amount is the sum that is payable upon maturity of the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond. The principal amount is payable to you when the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond is redeemed upon maturity, together with the last interest payment.

So long as you hold the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond as of the record date for the relevant interest payment, the interest payable at the end of every 6-month interest period is calculated as follows: 

[(Number of days in the 6-month interest period)/365 days of the year] x 1.8% x bond principal amount

You will receive the interest payments, so long as you continue to own the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond as of the record date for the relevant interest payment.

The record date, which is the fifth (5^th) business day before the interest payment date, is a cut-off date where the Issuer will determine which bondholders are eligible to receive the interest payment. 

You may check the record date on SGXNET prior to each interest payment date.

Once you have sold the T2026-S$ Temasek Bond, you will no longer own the bond and hence will not receive subsequent interest payments.
