EFSF taps 25-year bond

14 February 2013

The EFSF tapped a 25-year bond, initially placed on 12 June 2012 maturing on 3 April 2037, for an amount of €1 billion. This is the second tap of EFSF's longest-dated bond, following a first tap held on 4 July 2012. It brings the total new issue size to €3.5 billion.

The issuance spread at reoffer was fixed at mid swap plus 45 basis points. This implies a reoffer yield for investors of 2.959 per cent. Commerzbank, Société Générale CIB and UniCredit acted as lead managers for this tap.

Christophe Frankel, CFO and Deputy CEO, stated: “Our second transaction this week following the tap via auction held on Tuesday, this tap of our longest bond responds to reverse inquiries from some of our key investors".
