Baidu (HKG:9888) has proposed an international offering of exchangeable bonds in principal amount of $2 billion due 2032 to repay its certain existing indebtedness and interest accrued and to replenish its funds for general corporate purposes, a Friday Hong Kong bourse filing said.

The bonds will reference ordinary shares of Trip.com Group (HKG:9961) but not its American depository shares.

The bonds will be offered outside the U.S. in offshore transactions to non-U.S. persons.

The exchange ratio and other terms of the bonds are yet to be finalized.
