Philippines’ DBP reports successful issuance of first Basel III compliant bonds

Issue is twice oversubscribed.

State-owned Development Bank of the Philippines has successfully closed the order book on the first Basel III compliant Tier 2 Fixed Rate Unsecured Subordinated Notes. It exceeded the target issue size of P5 billion, raising P10 billion on the back of strong demand. DBP’s Tier 2 Note complies with the Basel III regulations of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the central bank, which take effect in January 2014. It had a tenor of 10 years with a call option on the fifth year and a competitive coupon of 4.875%.

The expected issue and settlement date of the security is on November 20. The proceeds replace DBP’s lower Tier 2 Note which was redeemed last September 2. This boosted the bank’s capital base and supports the growth of the bank’s portfolio that is focused on developmental lending.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
