US LNG exports surge but will buyers in China turn up?
LONDON - The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has initiated a pre-stabilization period for a newly offered $1 billion bond, according to a statement by Nomura International Plc, the stabilization coordinator for the issuance. The bond, which carries a semi-annual coupon of 4.5%, is set to mature on May 21, 2035, with an offer price of 99.166.
Nomura International Plc, along with Barclays (LON:BARC) Bank Plc and Merrill Lynch International, will act as Stabilization Managers. The stabilization period began on May 14, 2025, and is expected to continue until May 21, 2025. During this time, the Stabilization Managers may engage in transactions to support the market price of the securities at a level higher than what might otherwise prevail. However, there is no guarantee that stabilization will occur, and if initiated, it may end at any time.
The bond, identified by the ISIN US04522KAQ94, will be available through Euroclear, Clearstream, and DTC. An overallotment facility of up to 5% of the aggregate nominal amount has been established, which can be utilized under certain conditions during the stabilization period.
This financial move by AIIB is targeted at professional investors and high net worth individuals in the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280), as well as qualified investors in the European Economic Area, in compliance with applicable regulations. The securities have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and, consequently, may not be offered or sold within the United States absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements.
The issuance of this bond by AIIB is part of the bank’s efforts to raise capital for infrastructure investment across Asia. The announcement is strictly informational and does not constitute a sales offer or a solicitation for investment in any jurisdiction where such action would be considered unlawful. The information is based on a press release statement and provides essential details for investors considering this new financial instrument.
