EFSF bonds to undergo market stabilization by DZ BANK

FRANKFURT - DZ BANK AG, acting as the Stabilisation Coordinator, has announced potential market stabilization activities for the European Financial Stability Facility’s (EFSF) fixed-rate bonds due on September 27, 2032. The stabilization measures, which are expected to commence on June 19, 2025, aim to support the market price of the securities following their issuance.

The securities in question have an aggregate nominal amount set at a EUR benchmark level, with an offer price of 99.746%. The offer includes payment terms set for May 26, 2025, with denominations of 1,000 euros. Stabilization, if executed, will be carried out by DZ BANK AG alongside Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE and Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn), and may include over-allotment of the securities to the extent permitted by law.

The stabilization period is anticipated to last no longer than 30 days from the proposed issue date of the securities, and any such actions will take place on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s Regulated Market. It’s important to note that while the Stabilising Managers have the capacity to over-allot and perform transactions to support the bond’s market price, there is no certainty that stabilization activities will occur, and if commenced, they may be discontinued at any time.

This pre-stabilisation notice ensures that any stabilization actions are transparent and conducted within the framework of applicable laws and regulations, including the Market Abuse Regulation (EU Regulation 596/2014) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.

The announcement is strictly informative and does not serve as an invitation or offer to underwrite, subscribe for, or acquire securities in any jurisdiction. Furthermore, the notice underscores that any stabilization action or over-allotment is subject to all relevant legal and rule-based constraints.

The EFSF’s issuance and subsequent stabilization efforts are part of the broader financial stability mechanisms within the European Union, designed to maintain market confidence and liquidity. This press release statement serves as the source of the information provided.
