Banca Transilvania announces the successful completion of its first Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bond issuance on the Dublin Stock Exchange. The issuance received significant support from investors from the very beginning of the process, with more than 40 prominent investors expressing interest in participating in the transaction.
Within just two hours of launching the transaction, investors placed orders worth 2 billion euros, with the order book reaching a peak of approximately 3.25 billion euros as orders from U.S. investors began to arrive. The final volume of subscribed orders exceeded 2.65 billion euros, representing an oversubscription of 5.3 times the amount BT intended to raise.
“The AT1 bond issuance strengthens our solid capital position while enabling a more diversified and optimized capital structure, to the benefit of our shareholders and clients. With this capital instrument issuance, we are fully prepared to continue our growth, and I am particularly pleased to see the high level of interest coming from international markets. This shows that Banca Transilvania and Romania continue to represent an attractive investment opportunity despite increased economic uncertainty. The vote of confidence we received from our investors motivates us, as a team, to be even more determined to reach our growth targets and continue supporting companies and the population,” said Ömer Tetik, CEO of Banca Transilvania.
The issuance consists of Additional Tier 1 Capital instruments and contributes to meeting Banca Transilvania’s strong capital objectives, in line with the bank’s capital planning strategy. The bonds are denominated in euros and have an early redemption option starting on 27 November 2030. The minimum subscription amount is 200,000 euros. The coupon offered is 7.125%, reset every five years, with the first reset date on 27 May 2031.
