New Issue: Turkey’s Isbank prices $500 million 11-year tier 2 bonds at par to yield 7%

By Colin Hanner

Chicago, June 23 – Turkiye Is Bankasi AS (Isbank) sold $500 million 11-year tier 2 bonds (expected: B1//BB) at par to yield 7%, a market source said.

Price talk for the subordinated bonds was previously set in the low 7% area, a market source said.

The notes are non-callable until June 29, 2023 at which time the notes become callable at par. If the notes are not called by the date, the interest rate resets at five-year mid-swaps rate plus the initial credit spread.

The size of the books for the deal was more than $850 million, according to a market source.

Citigroup, Goldman Sachs International, MUFG, SG CIB and Standard Chartered Bank are joint bookrunners for the Rule 144A and Regulation S deal.

Isbank, based in Istanbul, is Turkey’s largest bank.
