New Issue: Mexico's BBVA sells €600 million 10-year notes at mid-swaps plus 45 bps

By Reshmi Basu

New York, May 11 - BBVA Bancomer SA sold a €600 million offering of 10-year subordinated tier II notes (A1//BBB+) at par to yield mid-swaps plus 45 basis points, according to a market source.

The deal came in line with guidance of 45 bps over mid-swaps.

The preferred, cumulative notes will be non-callable for five years. If the notes are not called, the fixed-rate coupon changes to floating rate and the coupon steps up by 100 bps.

On Thursday, the issuer placed a $500 million offering of 15-year subordinated notes (A1/BBB+) at par to yield Treasuries plus 135 bps. That deal priced inside of guidance, which was set at Treasuries plus 140 bps.

Proceeds from the two-part note offering will be used for general corporate purposes.

Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and BBVA were joint lead managers for the Rule 144A and Regulation S transactions, which were issued via the bank's Grand Cayman Island branch.

BBVA is Mexico City-based bank.
