At 31 December 2019, Koala Ltd still carried a BBB credit rating. Market conditions, including interest rates and credit spreads for a BBB‐quality credit rating and liquidity, remain unchanged from the date of issue. However, Koala Ltd’s credit spread had deteriorated by 50 basis points because of a change in its risk of non‐performance. If the debt securities were issued at 31 December 2019, they would be priced at an interest rate of 10.5%.
