Bigbank AS Introduces Additional Tier 1 Bonds
Bigbank AS is embarking on an exciting path by launching a private placement for Additional Tier 1 Temporary Write-Down Notes, also known as AT1 bonds. These bonds represent a sophisticated financial instrument, designed specifically for a select group of investors rather than the general public.
Details of the AT1 Bonds Offer
The subscription period for these AT1 bonds will be active from 11 November through 19 November. A maximum of 300 bonds, each with a nominal value of EUR 10,000, will be made available. However, Bigbank AS retains the flexibility to modify the issue volume based on market conditions or demand. One of the distinctive features of these AT1 bonds is their generous interest rate of 9% per annum, which will be paid quarterly to the investors.
Investment Requirements
Investors interested in acquiring these bonds will need to commit to a minimum investment amount of EUR 20,000, allowing them to purchase at least two bonds. These bonds are structured as perpetual, unsecured debt obligations, which means investors will not only receive regular interest payments but also have the long-term potential for returns.
Redemption Conditions
Under certain conditions governed by the Financial Supervision Authority, Bigbank AS has the option to redeem these AT1 bonds either in part or in full after five years from their issuance. This offer represents an excellent opportunity for investors looking for stable and substantial returns on their investments.
