The notes were priced on Friday (2 Aug) at the Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW) plus 0.74 per cent. The issuance is the largest conventional AUD single-tranche senior bond from a Singaporean Issuer. UOB had made an announcement to investors immediately after the Bank’s results (1H 2024) release on 1 Aug. This provided a first mover advantage in light of more anticipated supply – more issuers globally are expected to tap the AUD senior market amidst peak redemptions in August. The Bank received strong indications of interest on 1 Aug. The book building undertaken on 2 Aug allowed UOB to achieve its volume and pricing aspirations despite the broader risk-off tone in the US and Asia. This is the second time UOB is tapping the AUD market this year. The Bank issued A$1.25 billion in dual-tranche three-year unsecured notes in April.” The notes are expected to be issued on 8th August 2024.

Koh Chin Chin, Head of Group Treasury, Research and Customer Advocacy, UOB: “The AUD market is integral to our funding strategy. This year in fact, it has been our largest pool of international benchmark capital. Our commitment to this market remains; to provide our investors liquidity across the tenor curve, and so it was pleasing to see the strong appetite for these four-year bonds despite the volatile market backdrop, and just three months after our similarly successful three-year transaction in April.”
