The transaction marks the largest single tranche issuance by a Chinese debut issuer in EUR market, the highest issue ratings obtained by a Chinese local state-owned company, and the lowest spread achieved by a Chinese provincial state-owned company in a debut EUR issuance. The EUR 1.0bn 3-year senior notes were priced with a spread of 80bps above the benchmark EUR 3-year interest rate swap mid-rate (“MS”) and coupon rate of 1.206%.
The transaction is BSCOMC’s debut bond issuance in offshore market, and the largest inaugural single tranche EUR bond from Chinese corporate issuer on the China Europe International Exchange (CEINEX) market place in Frankfurt. Being the first EUR investment grade transaction from Chinese corporate issuer in 2022, the issuance received diversified investor interests from sovereigns, investment funds, insurance and asset management companies in Europe and Asia.
