Subject of the Disclosure
PBCOM Shortens Offer Period for Maiden Peso Bond Issue Amid Strong Investor Demand
Background/Description of the Disclosure
Philippine Bank of Communications (“PBCOM”) has successfully concluded its maiden Peso bond offering ahead of schedule, closing more than a week early due to robust investor demand. Initially set to run from October 14 to October 28, the offering attracted strong interest from both retail clients and a diverse mix of institutional investors. The Series A bonds which have a tenor of one-and-a-half years and a fixed interest rate of 6.0796% per annum, represent the first tranche under PBCOM’s PhP15 Billion Peso Bond Programme. The Bonds are scheduled to be issued and listed on the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corporation (PDEx) on 05 November 2024. Proceeds from the Bond issuance will be utilized for general corporate purposes, including refinancing debt obligations, diversifying funding sources and supporting loan growth. ING Bank N.V. Manila Branch (“ING”) served as the Sole Arranger and Bookrunner, with both PBCOM and ING acting as selling agents. ###
