Maybank raises $1b in lower tier-2 sub-notes; 3.8% coupon

Malayan Banking (MBBM.KL) will raise $1 billion from the sale of lower tier-2 notes in Singapore, more than double the initial size due to strong demand.

IFR, a Thomson Reuters service, said the strong orderbook for the Maybank notes resulted in the issue being upsized to $1 billion from an earlier target of $300-500 million. demand also resulted in the coupon being tightened from the initial guidance of 3.85%, IFR said.

According to a term sheet seen by Reuters, the Maybank notes have a 10-year tenor and are callable after five years.
 
The bookrunners for the Maybank notes issue are DBS (DBSM.SI), HSBC (HSBA.L), Kim Eng (KEHS.SI), Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC.SI) and Standard Chartered (STAN.L).
