New Issue: Peru's BCP sells $120 million 15-year notes to yield 6.95%

By Reshmi Basu

New York, Oct. 31 - Banco de Credito del Peru (BCP) placed a $120 million offering of 15-year subordinated tier II notes (Ba2//BB+) at par to yield 6.95%, according to a market source.

The deal came in line with revised price guidance that was in the 7% area, which was lowered from initial guidance of 7% to 7¼%.

The notes will be callable in 2016 at par. If the notes are not called, the coupon steps up to three-month Libor plus 279 basis points. The issue also turns into a floating-rate note.

Citigroup was the lead manager for the Rule 144A and Regulation S transaction.

Proceeds from the sale will be used for regulatory capital and for general corporate purposes.

Banco de Credito del Peru is a Lima, Peru, financial company.
