Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
LONDON - UBS AG London Branch has announced its role as the Stabilising Manager for the Queensland Treasury Corporation’s (QTC) upcoming issuance of EUR bonds due 2035. The stabilization period for the securities is set to commence today and is expected to continue until no later than June 17, 2025.
The QTC, which serves as the central financing authority for the state of Queensland, Australia, will be offering a benchmark amount of the EUR-denominated bonds. The offer price and other terms are to be confirmed (TBC). The Treasurer on behalf of The Government of Queensland guarantees the issuance.
Under the stabilization arrangement, UBS may over-allot or undertake transactions to support the market price of the bonds above the level that might otherwise prevail in the market. However, the bank has clarified that there is no certainty that stabilization activities will occur, and if initiated, they can be discontinued at any time.
The announcement clarifies that this information is purely for informational purposes and should not be construed as an offer to purchase or sell securities. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and, therefore, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration. Consequently, there will be no public offering of the securities in the United States.
The intended bond sale and stabilization efforts are directed at persons outside the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) and those within the UK who possess professional experience in investment matters or are high net worth entities as described under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
Furthermore, the announcement specifies that in any European Economic Area (EEA) Member State that has implemented the Prospectus Directive, the offer is only directed at qualified investors or those to whom the offer may lawfully be communicated.
This news is based on a press release statement and is intended to provide investors with factual information regarding the QTC’s upcoming bond issuance and the role of UBS AG as the Stabilising Manager.
