SMBC announces potential market stabilization measures

LONDON - SMBC Bank International plc has announced that it may engage in stabilization activities for Sumitomo Mitsui (NYSE:SMFG) Finance and Leasing Company, Limited’s upcoming USD Notes due 2030. The stabilization period is set to commence today, Thursday, and could last up to 30 days post-issue or 60 days post-allotment, whichever is earlier.

The securities, governed by English law and listed on the SGX-ST with an ISIN of XS3039124360, have yet to have their aggregate nominal amount and offer price confirmed. The notes will be available in denominations of USD 200,000 plus USD 1,000, featuring both an issuer call and an issuer make-whole call option.

SMBC, acting as the Stabilisation Coordinator, alongside Merrill Lynch International, Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) Securities Asia Limited, and Morgan Stanley & Co (NYSE:MS).
