Successful new Bladex bond issue in the Mexican capital markets
COMUNICADO DE PRENSA de Bladex
June 8, 2020
Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. (“Bladex” or the “Bank”), announces its fifth issuance of Mexican corporate bonds (Cebures) for the amount of MXN 3 billion (three billion Mexican pesos).
The Notes have been issued under a dual-tranche structure, of three and five years. The former with a floating-rate coupon of 28-day TIIE plus 58 basis points and the latter at M-Bono+140 basis points.
In a highly volatile market environment, Bladex's issuance was very well received by a diversified investor base, including pension funds, insurance companies, investment companies, private banks and treasuries. The total demand was oversubscribed by 1.55 times.
Mr. Jorge Salas, Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Eduardo Vivone, Executive Vice President of Treasury and Capital Markets commented: “We are very pleased with the success of this new Bladex placement, as well as with the relevance it had for the Mexican capital market, in a challenging global context. This is the first transaction since the end of March 2020 with a wide participation from institutional investors, and it will surely serve as reference for subsequent issuers. This outcome clearly demonstrates investor confidence in our Bank’s franchise and solid financial profile. Likewise, we are deeply satisfied to have become a recurrent issuer in this market, as Banco de México is one of our founding shareholders. The proceeds from this new issuance will be dedicated to support our clients throughout the Region and especially in the Mexican market. Finally, we would like to thank both bookrunners for a very professional and seamless execution”.
The issuance was rated “mxAAA” by S&P Global Ratings, S.A. de C.V. and “AAA(mex)” by Fitch Mexico, S.A. de C.V. The arrangers were Casa de Bolsa BBVA, S.A. de C.V., Grupo Financiero BBVA and Casa de Bolsa Santander, S.A. de C.V., Grupo Financiero Santander México.
