This bond, featuring a coupon rate of 9.375% and maturity set for 2028, highlights the company’s commitment to sustainable finance and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices. This initiative aligns with the global emphasis on responsible business practices and represents FIVE Holdings’ dedication to sustainable development​​.
  3. Plans for an Initial Public Offering (IPO): FIVE Holdings is considering an IPO in 2025, with a primary listing likely in Dubai and a potential listing in London. This plan reflects the company’s growth and its aim to strengthen its presence in the global market. FIVE Holdings, originally founded as SKAI Holdings in 2011 and rebranded as FIVE Holdings in 2017, has been making significant strides in the luxury hospitality sector, including unique offerings like private jet parties and exceptional experiences at their properties

These expansions and initiatives underscore FIVE Holdings’ vision to be a global leader in the hospitality and entertainment sectors, and we cannot wait to see what improvements they make to events.
