What happens to stocks if AI loses momentum?
LONDON - Societe Generale (OTC:SCGLY) SA has announced its role as the Stabilisation Coordinator for Belfius’s recent bond issuance, with the possibility of market stabilization activities commencing today. The securities in question comprise a EUR 750 million bond with a 3.375% coupon, maturing on May 28, 2030, and an offer price of 99.774.
The stabilization period, managed by SG CIB, is expected to begin on May 21, 2025, and could extend until June 27, 2025. During this time, the Stabilisation Manager(s) may engage in over-allotment or transactions to support the market price of the securities at a level above what might otherwise prevail. However, there is no guarantee that stabilization will occur, and if initiated, it can be discontinued at any time.
This process is conducted in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, including the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 under the Market Abuse Regulation (EU/596/2014) and the UK FCA Stabilisation Binding Technical Standards.
The announcement clarifies that the offer and any stabilization actions are strictly for professional investors or high net worth individuals in the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280), as defined by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Furthermore, it specifies that the securities are not being offered for sale in the United States and have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933.
The stabilization maneuver is a common practice aimed at reducing price volatility post-launch of a new security.
