    How Sukuk works: Introduction, structuring and application of Sukuk bonds

    An ex cellent introduc tion to Sukuk bonds.

    ISLAMI C BONDS (SUKUK): IT S

    INT RODUCT ION AND APPLICA T ION

    What is Suku k

    Sukuk in general may be understood as a shariah co mpliant Bond. In its simplest form sukuk

    represents o wnership of an asset or its usufruct. The claim embodied in sukuk is not simply a claim tocash flow but an ownership claim. This also differentiates sukuk from co nventional bonds as the latter

    proceed ov er interest bearing securities, whereas sukuk are basically investment certificates consisting

    of ownership claims in a pool ofassets.

    Sukuk (plural of word sak) were ex tensively used by Muslims in the Middle A ges as papers representing

    financial obligations originating from trade and o ther commerc ial activities. Howev er, the pr esent

    structure o f sukuk are different from the sukuk originally used and are akin to the conv entional conce pt

    of securitization, a pro cess in which o wnership of the underly ing assets is transferred to a large number

    of inve stors through certificates representing propor tionate value of the relevant assets.

    Suku k v s. Conv entional Bonds

    A bo nd is a contractual debt o bligat ion whereby the issuer is contractually obliged to pay to

    bo ndholders, on certain spec ified dates, interest and princ ipal, whereas, the sukuk holders c laims

    an undivided beneficial ownership in the underly ing assets. Consequently , sukuk holders are

    entitled to share in the rev enues generated by the sukuk assets as well as being entitled to share in

    the proc eeds o f the realization of the sukuk assets.

    A distinguishing feature of a sukuk is that in instanc es where the certificate represents a debt to the

    holder, the c ertificate will not be tradable on the secondary market and instead is held until

    maturity or sold at par.

    Accounting and A uditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutio ns (A AOIFI) defines sukuk as

    being:

    Certificates o f equal value representing after clo sing subscription, receipt of the v alue of the

    certificates and putting it to use as planned, co mmon title to shares and r ights in tangible assets,usufructs and serv ices, or equity of a given project or equity o f a special investment activity.

    Benefits and Features

    Tradable shariah-compliant capital market product prov iding medium to long-term fixed or

    v ariable rate s of return. A ssessed and rated by inte rnational rating agencies, which inv estors use

    as a guideline to assess risk/return parameters o f a sukuk issue.

    Regular periodic income streams during the investment period with easy and efficient settlement

    and a possibility of capital appreciation of the sukuk.Liquid instruments, tradable in seco ndary market.

    Uses of Sukuk Fu nds

    The most commo n uses of sukuk can be named as projec t specific, asset-specific, and balance sheet

    specific.

    1. Project-specific Suku k

    Under this category money is raised through sukuk for spec ific projec t. For ex ample, Qatar Global

    sukuk issued by the Government o f Qatar in 2003 to mobilize resourc es for the co nstruction of Hamad

    Medical City (HMC) in Doha. In this case a joint v enture special purpose vehicle (SPV), the Qatar Global

    sukuk QSC, was incorporated in Qatar with limited liability . This SPV acquired the o wnership of land

    parcel, that was registered in the name of HMC. The land parc el was placed in trust and I jara-based

    Trust Certificates (TCs) were issued worth US$7 00 million due by October 20 10 . The annual floating

    rate of return was agreed at LIBOR plus 0.45 per c ent.

    2. Assets-specific Suku k

    Under this arrangement, the reso urces are mobilise by selling the beneficiary right of the assets to the

    investor s. For ex ample, the Government o f Malaysia raised US$ 60 0 million through Ijara sukuk Trust

    Certificates (TCs) in 2002. Under this arrangement, the be neficiary right of the land parce ls has been

    sold by the gov ernment of Malaysia to an SPV, which was then re-sold to investors for five y ears. The

    SPV kept the beneficiary rights of the properties in trust and issued floating rate sukuk to investors.

    Another example o f Asset-specific sukuk is US$25 0 millio n five-y ear Ijara sukuk issue d to fund the

    extension of the airport in Bahrain. In this case the underly ing asset was the airport land sold to an SPV.

    3. Balance Sheet-specific Suku k

    An ex ample o f the b alance sheet spec ific use of sukuk funds is the Islamic Development Bank (I DB)

    sukuk issued in August 20 03. The IDB mobilised these funds to finance v arious projects of the member

    countries. The IDB made its debut re source mobilization from the international capital market by

    issuing US$ 40 0 million five-year sukuk due for maturity in 20 08.

    T ypes of Suku k

    Sukuk can be o f many types depending upon the ty pe of Islamic modes of financing and trades used in

    its structuring. Howev er, the mo st important and co mmon among those are ijarah, shirkah, salam and

    istisna. Among the fourteen e ligible sukuks identified by the AA OIFI, following are more c ommon:

    1. Mudaraba Sukuk

    These are investment sukuk that represent ownership of units of equal value in the Mudaraba equityand are registered in the names of holders on the basis of undivided o wnership of shares in the

    Mudaraba equity and its returns acc ording to the perc entage of ownership of share. The owners o f such

    sukuk are the rabbul-mal. (AA OIFI). Mudarba sukuk are used for enhancing public participation in big

    investment projects.

    Salient Features:

    Following are the salient features of mudarba sukuk:

    Mudarba sukuk (MS) represent co mmon o wnership and entitle their holders share in the spec ific

    projects against which the MS has been issued.

    The MS contrac t is based on the official notice o f the issue of the prospec tus which must prov ide

    all information required by shariah for the Qirad contract such as the nature of capital, the ratio

    for profit distribution and other co nditions related to the issue, which must be co mpatible with

    shariah.

    The MS holder is give n the right to transfer the ownership by selling the deeds in the securities

    market at his discretion. The sale of MS must follow the rules listed below:

    If the mudarba capital, before the operations of the project, is still in the form of money , the

    trading of MS would be like exchange of money for money . In that case the rules of bay al-

    sarf would be applied.

    If muqarda capital is in the form of debt then it must satisfy the pr inciples of debt trading in

    Islam.

    If capital is in the form of combination of cash, rece ivables, go ods, real assets and benefits,

    trade must be based on market price ev olved by mutual consent.

    The Manager/SPV who r ece ives the fund collec ted from the subscribers to MS can also invest his

    own fund. He will get profit for his capital co ntribution in addition to his share in the pro fit as

    mudarib.

    holders become the owners of the project or the assets of the activity as per their respective shares.

    These Musharaka certificates c an be treated as negotiable instruments and can be bo ught and sold in

    the secondary market.

    These are c ertificates of equal v alue issued with the aim o f using the mo bilized funds for establishing a

    new project, dev eloping an existing project or financing a business activity o n the basis of any

    partnership contracts so that the cer tificate holders bec ome the owners o f the projec t or assets of the

    activ ity as per their respectiv e shares, with the Musharaka certificates being managed on the basis ofparticipation or Mudaraba or an investment agency . (AAOIFI Standard 17 , 3/6)

    Steps involv ed in the structu re:

    Corporate and the Special Purpose V ehicle (SPV) enter into a Musharaka Arr angement for a fixed

    period and an agreed pro fit-sharing ratio. Also the c orpor ate undertakes to buy Musharaka shares of

    the SPV on a periodic b asis.

    Corporate (as Musharik) contributes land or o ther phy sical assets to the MusharakaSPV (as Musharik) co ntributes cash i.e. the issue Proceeds receiv ed from the investors to the

    Musharaka

    The Musharaka appoints the Corporate as an agent to dev elop the land (or other physical assets)

    with the cash injected into the Musharaka and sell/ lease the developed assets on behalf of the

    Musharaka.

    In return, the agent (i.e. the Corporate) will get a fixed agency fee plus a variable incentiv e fee

    payable.

    The profits are distributed to the sukuk holders.

    The Corporate irrev ocably undertakes to buy at a pre-agreed price the Musharaka shares of the

    SPV on say semi-annual basis and at the end o f the fixed period the SPV would no longer have any

    shares in the Musharaka.

    Mush araka Suku k in Practice

    US$5 50 million sukuk transaction for Emirates airline, the sev en-year deal was a structured o n a

    Musharaka contract. The Musharaka or joint v enture was set up to dev elop a new engineering centre

    and a new headquarters building on land situated near Dubais airport which will ultimately be leased to

    Emirates. Profit, in the form o f lease rentals, generated from the Musharaka venture will be used to pay

    the periodic distribution on the trust ce rtificates.

    Sitara Chemical Industries Ltd, a public limited c ompany , made a public issue of profit-and-loss sharing

    based term financ e certificates (TFCs) wo rth Rs 360 million whic h were subscribed in June 20 02. The

    TFCs had a fixed life tenor o f five y ears and pro fit and loss sharing was linked to the operating profit or

    loss of the Chemical Division of the company .

    Kuwait Finance House (KFH), Liquidity Management Center (LMC) and Al Muthanna Inv estment

    Company (MIC), the mandated lead arrangers launched US$ 12 5 million Lagoon City Musharaka sukuk

    to support the Lagoon City residential and co mmercial real estate dev elopment as part of Kheiran Pearl

    City project.

    3. Ijara Suku k

    These are sukuk that represent ownership of equal shares in a rented real estate or the usufruct of the

    real estate. These sukuk give their o wners the right to own the real estate, rec eive the rent and dispose

    of their sukuk in a manner that does not affect the right of the lessee, i.e. they are tradable. The holdersof such sukuk bear all cost of maintenance of and damage to the real estate. (AA OIFI)

    Ijarah sukuk are the securities representing ownership of well defined ex isting and known assets tied up

    to a lease contract, rental of which is the return pay able to sukuk holders. Payment o f ijarah rentals can

    be unr elated to the perio d of taking usufruct by the lessee. I t can be made before beginning of the lease

    period, during the period or after the period as the parties may mutually dec ide. This flexibility c an be

    used to ev olv e different forms of contract and sukuk that may serv e different purposes of issuers and

    the holders.

    Features of Ijarah suku k

    It is necessary for an ijarah contract that the assets being leased and the amount of rent both are

    clearly known to the parties at the time of the contract and if both of these are known, ijarah can

    be contracted on an asset or a building that is y et to be constructed, as long as it is fully described

    in the contract provided that the lessor should normally be able to acquire, construct or buy the

    asset being leased by the time set for its delivery to the lessee (AAOIFI, 200 3: 140-1 57 ). The

    lessor can sell the leased asset prov ided it does not hinder the lessee to take benefit from the asset.

    The new owner would be entitled to receiv e the rentals.

    Rental in ijarah must be stipulated in c lear terms for the firs term of lease, and for future renewable

    terms, it could be c onstant, increasing or dec reasing by benchmarking or relating it to any well-

    known variable.

    As per shariah rules, expenses related to the corpus or basic c haracteristics of the assets are the

    responsibility of the owner, while maintenance expenses related to its operation are to be borne

    by the lessee.

    As regards procedure for issuance o f ijarah sukuk, an SPV is created to purc hase the asset(s) that

    issues sukuk to the investo r, enabling it to make pay ment for purchasing the asset. The asset is

    then leased to third party for its use. The lessee makes periodic r ental payments t the SPV that in

    turn distributes the same to the sukuk holders.Ijara sukuk are co mpletely nego tiable and can be traded in the secondary markets.

    Ijara sukuk offer a high degree of flex ibility from the point of v iew of their issuance management

    and marketability. The central gove rnment, municipalities, awqaf or any other asset users, priv ate

    or public can issue these Sukuk. Additionally, they can be issued by financial intermediaries or

    directly by users of the leased assets.

    Steps inv olved in the structu re

    The obligator sells certain assets to the SPV at an agreed pre-determined purc hase price.

    The SPV raises financing by issuing sukuk certificates in an amount equal to the purchase price.

    This is passed on to the obligator (as seller).

    A lease agreement is signe d between SPV and the obligator for a fix ed perio d of time, whe re the

    obligator leases back the assets as lessee.

    SPV rec eives periodic rentals from the obligator;

    These are distributed among the investors i.e. the sukuk holders.

    At matur ity , or on a disso lution ev ent, the SPV sells the assets back to the seller at apredetermined v alue. That value should be equal to any amounts still owed under the terms o f the

    Ijara sukuk.

    Ijara Suku k in Practic e

    In December 200 0, Kumpulan Guthrie Berhad (Guthrie) was granted a RM1.5 billion (US$400 million)

    Al-Ijara Al-Muntahiy ah Bit-Tamik by a conso rtium of banks. The o riginal facility was r aise d to re-

    finance Guthries acquisition o f a palm oil plantation in the Republic o f Indonesia. The co nsortium was

    then invited to participate as the underwriter/primary subsc riber of the Sukuk Transaction.

    US$35 0 million sukuk Trust Certificates by Sarawak Corporate Sukuk Inc. (SCSI) Sarawak Economic

    Dev elopment Corpo ration (SEDC) raised financing amounting to US$35 0 million by way of issuance o f

    series of trust certificates issued on the principle of Ijara sukuk. The certificates were issued with a

    maturity of 5 years and under the proposed structure, the proc eeds will be used by the issuer to

    purchase certain assets from 1 st Silicon (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. Thereafter, the issuer will lease assets

    procured from 1 st Silicon to SEDC for an agreed re ntal price for an agreed lease period o f 5 years.

    4. Murabaha Suku k

    In this case the issuer of the certificate is the seller of the Murabaha commodity , the subscribers are the

    buyers of that commodity , and the realised funds are the purchasing c ost o f the c ommodity . The

    certificate holders own the Murabaha commo dity and are entitled to its final sale price upo n the re-sale

    of the Commodity. The po ssibility o f having legally acceptable Murabaha-based sukuk is only feasible in

    the primary market. The negotiability of these Sukuk or their trading at the secondary market is not

    permitted by shariah, as the certificates represent a debt owing from the subsequent buyer of the

    Commodity to the certificate-holders and such trading amounts to trading in debt on a de ferred basis,

    whic h will r esult in riba.

    Despite being debt instruments, the Murabaha Sukuk could be nego tiable if they are the smaller part o f a

    package or a portfolio, the larger part o f which is constituted of negotiable instruments such as

    Mudaraba, Musharaka, or I jara Sukuk. Murabaha sukuk are popular in Malaysian market due to a more

    liberal interpretation of fiqh by Malaysian jurists permitting sale of debt (bai-al-dayn) at a nego tiated

    price.

    Steps involv ed in the structu re:

    ifresource.com/2010/04/27/how-sukuk-works-introduction-structuring-and-application-of-sukuk-bonds/ 8

    A master agreement is signed between the SPV and the borrower

    SPV issues sukuk to the investors and receive sukuk proceeds.

    SPV buy s commodity on spot basis from the commo dity supplier.

    SPV sells the co mmodity to the borro wer at the spot price plus a profit margin, payable on

    installments ov er an agreed period of time

    The borrower sells the commo dity to the Commodity buy er on spot basis.

    The investors receiv e the final sale price and profits.

    Murabaha Suku k in Practice

    Arcapita Bank, a Bahrain-b ased inv estment firm has mandated Bay erisc he Hy po-und V ereinsbank A G

    (HVB), Standard Bank Plc (SB) and WestLB AG, London Branch (WestLB) (together the Mandated

    Lead Arrangers), to arrange a Five Y ear Multicurrency (US$, and ) Murabaha-backed Sukuk. Sukuk

    will hav e a fiv e-y ear bullet maturity and proposed pricing three month LIBOR +17 5bps.

    5. Salam Suku k

    Salam sukuk are certificates o f equal v alue issued for the purpose of mobilising Salam capital so that the

    goods to be deliv ered o n the basis of Salam come to the ownership of the certificate holders. The issuer

    of the certificates is a seller of the goods o f Salam, the subscribers are the b uyers of the goods, while the

    funds realized from subscr iption are the purchase price (Salam capital) of the goo ds. The holders of

    Salam certificates are the o wners of the Salam goods and are entitled to the sale price of the certificates

    or the sale price o f the Salam goods so ld through a parallel Salam, if any .

    Salam-based securities may be cr eated and sold by an SPV under which the funds mobilized from

    investor s are paid as an advance to the co mpany SPV in return for a promise to deliver a co mmodity at

    a future date. SPV can also appoint an agent to market the promised quantity at the time o f delivery

    perhaps at a higher price. The difference between the purchase price and the sale price is the profit to

    the SPV and hence to the ho lders of the Sukuk.

    All standard shariah requirements that apply to Salam also apply to Salam sukuk, such as, full pay ment

    by the buyer at the time of effecting the sale, standardized nature of unde rly ing asset, c lear

    enumeration of quantity , quality, date and place of delivery of the asset and the like.

    One of the Shariah conditions relating to Salam, as well as for cr eation o f Salam sukuk, is the

    requirement that the purchased goo ds are not re-sold before actual possession at maturity. Such

    transactions amount to selling of debt. This constraint renders the Salam instrument illiquid and hence

    somewhat less attractive to inv estors. Thus, an investo r will buy a Salam certificate if he ex pects prices

    of the underly ing commodity to be higher on the maturity date.

    Steps involv ed in the transaction:

    SPV signs an undertaking with an obligator to source both commodities and buy ers. The obligator

    co ntracts to buy , on behalf of the end-Sukuk holders, the commodity and then to sell it for the

    ifresource.com/2010/04/27/how-sukuk-works-introduction-structuring-and-application-of-sukuk-bonds/ 9

    profit of the Sukuk holders.

    Salam certificates are issued to inve stors and SPV rec eive s Sukuk proceeds.

    The Salam proceeds are passed onto the obligator who sells commo dity on forward basis

    SPV rec eives the commodities from the obligator

    Obligator, on behalf of Sukuk holders, sells the c ommodities for a pr ofit.

    Sukuk holders receive the commodity sale proc eeds.

    Salam Sukuk in Practice

    Aluminum has been designate d as the underly ing asset of the Bahrain Gov ernment al Salam contract,

    where by it promises to sell aluminum to the buyer at a specified future date in return o f a full pr ice

    payme nt in advance. The Bahrain Islamic Bank (BIB) has been nominated to represent the o ther banks

    wishing to partic ipate in the A l Salam contract. BIB has be en delegated to sign the contracts and all

    other necessary do cuments on behalf of the other banks in the syndicate. At the same time, the buyer

    appoints the Government of Bahrain as an agent to market the appropriate quantity at the time o f

    delivery through its channels of distribution. The Gove rnment of Bahrain provides an additional

    undertaking to the representative (BIB) to market the aluminum at a price, which will provide a return

    to al Salam security holders equiv alent to those available through other conv entional short-term

    money market instruments.

    6. Istisn a Suku k

    Istisna sukuk are c ertificates that carry equal v alue and are issued with the aim of mobilising the funds

    required for produc ing products that are owned by the certificate holders. The issuer of these

    certificates is the manufacturer (supplier/seller), the subscr ibers are the buy ers of the intended

    product, while the funds realised from subsc ription are the cost o f the product. The certificate holders

    own the product and are entitled to the sale price o f the certificates or the sale price of the produc t sold

    on the basis of a parallel Istisna, if any. Istisna Sukuk are quite useful for financing large infrastructure

    projects. The suitability of Istisna for financial intermediation is based on the permissibility for the

    contrac tor in Istisna to enter into a parallel Istisna contract with a subco ntractor. Thus, a financial

    institution may undertake the co nstruction of a facility for a deferred price, and sub co ntract the actual

    construc tion to a spec ialised firm.

    Shariah prohibits the sale of these debt c ertificates to a third party at any price o ther than their face

    value. Clearly such certificates cannot be traded in the secondary market .

    Steps involv ed in the structu re:

    SPV issues Sukuk certificates to r aise funds for the project.

    Sukuk issue proce eds are used to pay the contractor /builder to build and deliver the future

    project.

    Title to assets is transferred to the SPV

    Property /projec t is leased or sold to the end buyer. The end buye r pays monthly installments to

    the SPV.

    The returns are distributed among the Sukuk holders.

    Istisna Sukuk in Practice

    Tabreeds five-year global c orporate Sukuk (on behalf of the National Central Cooling Company , UAE)

    prov ided a fixed c oupon of 5.50 %. It is a c ombination of Ijara Istisna and Ijara Mawsufah fi al dhimmah

    (or forward leasing contrac ts). The issue was launched to raise funds to retire some existing debt, which

    totals around US$136 million, as well as to finance ex pansion.

    The Durrat Sukuk will finance the reclamation and infrastructure for the initial stage of a broader US$ 1

    billion world class residential and leisure destination known as Durrat A l Bahrain, currently the

    Kingdom of Bahrains largest residential dev elopment pro ject. The return o n the Sukuk is 125 basis

    points over 3 months LIBOR payable quarterly , with the Sukuk having an overall tenor of 5 years and an

    option for early redemption. The proc eeds of the issue (cash) will be used by the Issuer to finance the

    reclamation of the land and the development of Base Infrastructure thro ugh multiple projec t finance

    (Istisna) agreements. As the works carried out under eac h Istisna are completed by the Contractor and

    delivere d to the Issuer, the Issuer will give notice to the Project Company under the Master IjaraAgre ement and will lease such Base Infrastruc ture on the basis o f a lease to own transaction.

    7 . Hybrid Suku k

    Considering the fact that Sukuk issuance and trading are important means of investment and taking into

    account the v arious demands of investors, a mo re diversified Sukuk hybrid or mixed asset Sukuk

    emerged in the market. In a hy brid Sukuk, the underlying poo l of assets can comprise of Istisna,

    Murabaha receiv ables as well as Ijara. Having a portfolio of assets co mprising of different c lasses allows

    for a greater mobilization of funds. Howev er, as Murabaha and Istisna contracts cannot be traded o n

    seco ndary markets as securitised instruments at least 51 percent of the pool in a hy brid Sukuk must

    compr ise of Sukuk tradable in the market such as an Ijara Sukuk. Due to the fact the Murabaha and
