BPI raises $400m from foreign bond market to refinance debt

Bank of the Philippine Islands said Wednesday it raised $400 million from the issuance of US-dollar denominated bonds on strong demand from international investors.

The 5-year notes were priced at US Treasury spread of T+105 basis points with a coupon of 5.25 percent, representing the tightest ever spread on a 5-year bond from a non-sovereign Philippine issuer.“This allowed 35 bps of pricing compression from initial pricing guidance to final pricing, even as the issue size was increased from the original indications of $300 million, to accommodate the strong oversubscription levels,” BPI said.
