Hanjin Signs $150M Commercial Paper In U.S.

South Korea's shipping container operator Hanjin Shipping reportedly signed a deal with ABN AMRO Bank to issue $150 million in asset-backed commercial paper in the United States. ABN AMRO lead managed the issues backed by outstanding freight fares overseas owed to Hanjin at a 1.05 percent rate above LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate). The bonds will carry a three-year maturity and the funds, to be deposited in early December, would be used to pay off debt, the company said in a statement.
