RAM Ratings has received confirmation that Exsim Capital Resources Berhad (Exsim Capital or the Issuer) – a special-purpose vehicle wholly owned by Exsim Development Sdn Bhd (the Sponsor) – redeemed its RM323 mil Tranche 2 IMTN in full on 4 October 2024, well ahead of the expected maturity date of 9 January 2025.
We have as such withdrawn the AAA rating of the Tranche 2 IMTN and no longer have any rating obligation in respect of the facility. Obligations under the accompanying RM55 mil unrated Tranche 2 ICP facility – structured to meet liquidity and cost overrun needs – have also been fully met and cancelled upon full redemption of the Tranche 2 IMTN.
The early redemption was made in view of the transaction’s fully cash-backed position. The Tranche 2 IMTN was backed by progress billings under sales and purchase agreements for the D’Quince Residences and D’Vervain Residences in Damansara Perdana, Selangor. Both projects obtained certificates of completion and compliance on 18 June 2024 and accordingly delivery of vacant possession started in July 2024.
The Tranche 2 IMTN was issued under Exsim Capital’s RM2 bil Sukuk Musharakah Programme, established to monetise progress billings originated from identified development projects of Exsim Development or its subsidiaries. Three outstanding tranches remain under the programme to date (see here).

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.
