Bangkok: PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTT EP) is preparing to launch a new series of debentures in two currencies, aiming to offer more investment options to investors.
According to Thai News Agency, the company is set to introduce a US dollar-denominated digital bond and a Thai baht-denominated bond, both boasting an AAA rating from TRIS Rating, reflecting the company’s stable financial position and growth potential.
Ms. Chanamat Sasananant, Senior Vice President of the Finance and Accounting Group at PTT EP, announced that the new debenture offerings are scheduled for the second quarter of 2026. The US dollar-denominated digital bond is designed for retail investors and will be the first of its kind in Asia, available through the “Paotang” application. This bond series aims to provide Thai investors with access to foreign debt instruments and diversify their portfolios. The minimum investment for these digital bonds is set at US$1,000, with no maximum limit, and will be underwritten by Krung Thai Bank Public Company Limited.
Meanwhile, the Thai baht-denominated bonds will target institutional and high-net-worth investors, excluding individual retail investors. These bonds are also long-term and registered, with Krungsri Bank Public Company Limited, Kasikornbank Public Company Limited, and Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited serving as underwriters.
The proceeds from these debenture offerings will be used to repay maturing debts, fund business-related expenses, and support future investment opportunities. PTT EP’s strategy focuses on ensuring national energy security while expanding international investments to create sustainable value for its stakeholders. The company plans to announce further details, including interest rates and the total value of the debenture offerings, closer to the release date.
PTT EP, with a market capitalization of approximately 543,888 million baht as of February 2026, is one of the largest companies on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. It operates over 50 projects in more than 10 countries, enhancing Thailand’s energy security and exploring clean energy ventures for future growth.
