Company Announcement
Nordax Bank successfully issues 250 MSEK of Tier 2 capital
Nordax Bank (“Nordax”) has successfully issued 250 MSEK of Tier 2
capital
further strengthening its capital structure.
Based on strong investor
demand mainly in the Nordic region, Nordax has issued
250 MSEK at an attractive
price. The transaction enables Nordax to call
previously entered Tier 2 capital
arrangements, amounting to 200 MSEK. Once the
refinancing transaction is
completed, Nordax’s outstanding notes will include
250 MSEK in Tier 2 capital,
500 MSEK in senior unsecured bonds as well as 3,110
MSEK in asset backed
securities (ABS).

Morten Falch CEO comments: “We are pleased with the level of
interest among
investors and the refinancing of Tier 2 notes is in line with
Nordax’s funding
strategy. We are unique among peers in the Nordic market as we
have a
diversified funding structure based on four pillars; deposits, unsecured
bonds,
ABS and warehouse funding. We continue to take a conservative approach
to
liquidity risk and continuously keep 40 per cent of our deposits as
liquidity
reserves. The new tier two capital will help support our growth
efforts.”
