SINGAPORE, March 18 (Reuters) - U.S. digital

infrastructure company Equinix ( EQIX ) said on Tuesday that it

has issued S$500 million ($375 million) in green bonds in its

inaugural offering in the Singaporean market.

The Nasdaq-listed company said in a statement it intended to

allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the green

bonds to recently completed or future eligible green projects.

Equinix ( EQIX ) issued S$500 million in 3.50% senior notes due 2030

in the offering that closed on March 13, said the statement.

The issuance is the first time a U.S. company has accessed

the Singapore dollar bond market in over five years.

DBS Bank and Standard Chartered ( SCBFF ) were

joint global coordinators. They were also the joint lead

managers and bookrunners with HSBC ( HSBC ) and OCBC,

the statement showed.
