The NORD/LB Group placed two large-volume own issues on the capital market this week. On Monday, NORD/LB subsidiary Deutsche Hypo issued a benchmark mortgage Pfandbrief with a ten-year term and a volume of EUR 625 million. The bond was primarily placed with institutional investors in Asia and Europe. It carries a coupon of 0.75% and the yield is 0.768%, which equates to a spread of 12bp over mid-swap. At around EUR 750 million, the order book was slightly oversubscribed.

On Tuesday, Luxembourg subsidiary NORD/LB Covered Bond Bank followed with a Lettre de Gage Publique, a covered bond issued under Luxembourg law. The bond has a term of five years and an issue volume of EUR 500 million. The coupon is 0.375% and the spread over mid-swap comes to 25bp. The order book was significantly oversubscribed at EUR 1.4 billion.

For both issues, NORD/LB was one of five joint lead managers in a banking syndicate.

Dr Hinrich Holm, Deputy Chairman of NORD/LB, who is responsible for the bank’s capital market business, commented: “We are delighted about the successful placement of both issues. The strong demand for these securities shows that institutional investors, in particular, are very interested in benchmark issues from NORD/LB Group.”
