Airbnb 再举新债 10 亿美元，为对抗疫情做长期准备

网易科技讯 4 月 15 日消息，据国外媒体报道，民宿创企 Airbnb 计划再筹集 10 亿美元的新债务，这是该公司自上周以来的第二笔此类融资。与此同时，Airbnb 正在为新型冠状病毒疫情对公司业务造成的长期影响做准备。

据知情人士透露，新债募集的资金来自阿波罗全球管理公司 (Apollo Global Management)、Benefit Street Partners、Glade Brook Capital Partners、橡树资本（Oaktree Capital）和猫头鹰岩资本（Owl Rock Capital）等一批投资者。知情人士说，上一笔 10 亿美元融资的投资方银湖(Silver Lake) 和 Sixth Street Partners 也参与了新债发行。

上述知情人士表示，此次 Airbnb 五年期债务的定价较基准的伦敦银行间同业拆借利率高出 7.5 个百分点。这位知情人士说，债务条款从高于伦敦银行间同业拆借利率 8 个百分点有所收窄。

相关公司代表要么拒绝置评，要么没有立即回复记者的请求。

新发行的公司债务优先于 Airbnb 本月早些时候从银湖和 Sixth Street 融得的 10 亿美元。一位知情人士表示，此次交易不涉及股权。

在今年上市前景日益黯淡之际，这笔融资将为 Airbnb 提供额外的财务缓冲。知情人士上月表示，这可能有助于该公司在不上市的情况下度过疫情带来的经济危机，还可能允许该公司实行一直在考虑之中的收购策略。（辰辰）
Netease technology news on April 15, according to foreign media reports, airbnb, a home stay maker, plans to raise another $1 billion in new debt, the company’s second such financing since last week. Meanwhile, Airbnb novel coronavirus is preparing for the long-term impact of the new coronavirus outbreaks on the company’s business.
According to people familiar with the matter, the funds raised by the new bonds came from a group of investors such as Apollo global management, benefit Street partners, glade brook capital partners, Oaktree capital and owl rock capital. Silver Lake and six Street partners, investors in the last $1bn financing, also participated in the new bond issue, people familiar with the matter said.
The price of airbnb’s five-year debt is 7.5 percentage points higher than the benchmark LIBOR rate, the people familiar with the matter said. The person familiar with the matter said the terms of the debt narrowed from 8 percentage points above LIBOR.
Company representatives either declined to comment or did not immediately respond to requests.
The newly issued corporate debt takes precedence over the $1 billion airbnb raised from Silver Lake and Sixth Street earlier this month. One person familiar with the deal said it did not involve equity.
The financing will provide an additional financial cushion for airbnb at a time when the outlook for listing this year is increasingly bleak. Last month, people familiar with the situation said it could help the company survive the economic crisis brought about by the outbreak without going public, and could allow the company to implement the acquisition strategy under consideration.
