RAM Ratings has received confirmation that SEP Resources (M) Sdn Bhd (SEP) has fully redeemed its outstanding RM150 mil Islamic Medium-Term Notes (the Islamic MTNs) on 26 September 2024 ahead its scheduled maturity date. The redemption was made through the successful issuance of its RM185 mil ASEAN Sustainability SRI Sukuk Wakalah (SRI Sukuk), which carries a AA1/Stable rating (click here for details on the SRI Sukuk, published on 11 September 2024).
As such, we have withdrawn the AAA/stable rating of the Islamic MTN and no longer have any rating obligation in respect of the redeemed sukuk (last affirmed on 7 August 2023). We will continue to provide coverage for SEP Resources’ SRI Sukuk.

The credit rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold a security, inasmuch as it does not comment on the security’s market price or its suitability for a particular investor, nor does it involve any audit by RAM Ratings. The credit rating also does not reflect the legality and enforceability of financial obligations.
RAM Ratings receives compensation for its rating services, normally paid by the issuers of such securities or the rated entity, and sometimes third parties participating in marketing the securities, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, underwriters, etc. The receipt of this compensation has no influence on RAM Ratings’ credit opinions or other analytical processes. In all instances, RAM Ratings is committed to preserving the objectivity, integrity and independence of its ratings. Rating fees are communicated to clients prior to the issuance of rating opinions. While RAM Ratings reserves the right to disseminate the ratings, it receives no payment for doing so, except for subscriptions to its publications.
Similarly, the disclaimers above also apply to RAM Ratings’ credit-related analyses and commentaries, where relevant.
