Capital Structure Optimization by the BANK of Greenland
The BANK of Greenland has made significant strides in optimizing its capital structure by agreeing to issue DKK 125 million in Senior Non-Preferred capital. This important initiative is closely managed by Nykredit Bank A/S, which is acting as the sole lead manager of the issuance, reflecting the bank's commitment to maintaining a robust financial foundation.
Details of the New Senior Non-Preferred Capital
The newly issued capital carries ISIN no. DK0030553375 and is set to take effect from 17 September 2025. With a maturity period of seven years, this capital includes a call option available after four years, contingent upon approval from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet). The bonds will feature a floating interest rate, calculated at six-month CIBOR plus 230 basis points. This floating rate arrangement offers flexibility that could be beneficial to the bank.
Early Redemption of Existing Capital
In addition to the issuance, the bank has announced the early redemption of DKK 50 million in Senior Non-Preferred capital, previously issued on 27 October 2021. This early redemption is aligned with the option that was granted at the time of issuance, allowing for a call four years post-issue. The scheduled redemption date for this capital is 27 October 2025. With the approval from the Danish Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet) secured, the process can proceed smoothly.
