Global bond BNI oversubcribed until US$3 billion


Booksize global bond PT Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk, fourth largest lender by asset, came in at US$3 billion, with 60% allocation to Asia, 16% to Europe and 23% to the US offshore account.
The lender pricing 5 year US$500 million global bond at the tight range of 4.125%/98.888 from the the tight end of the final guidance of 4.37% to 4.5%.
Fitch Ratings also assigned BNI US$500 million senior notes a final rating of 'BBB-'. This follows the completion of the notes issue and the receipt of final documents conforming to information previously received. The final rating is same as the expected rating assigned on 17 April 2012.
The notes are rated at the same level as BNI's Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'BBB-'. This is because the notes constitute direct and senior unsecured obligations of BNI, and rank equally with all its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The proceeds will be used to support BNI's business growth.
