20 March 2013

The European Financial Stability Facility today tapped a three-year bond, initially placed on 26 February 2013 maturing on 7 March 2016, for an amount of €1 billion. This tap brings the total size of the issue to €4 billion.

The issuance spread at reoffer was fixed at mid swap minus 5 basis points. This implies a reoffer yield for investors of 0.584 per cent. Barclays, Morgan Stanley and UniCredit acted as lead managers for this tap.

Christophe Frankel, CFO and Deputy CEO, stated: “Despite the volatile market environment, EFSF responded to reverse inquiries from key investors and successfully raised €1 billion today, bringing the total amount raised for Q1 to €17 billion".
