Oil firm sells first Islamic convertible

An Abu Dhabi oil and gas exploration firm has become the first firm to sell a convertible bond compliant with Islamic Sharia law.

Due to high levels of demand for Aabar Petroleum's Sukuk convertible bond, the deal was increased to $460m by bookrunner Deutsche Bank from an original size of $350m (€285m).
