At the end of December, UniCredit Bank Serbia carried out an issuance of long-term dinar-denominated bonds with the aim of strengthening its capital base through diversification of funding sources and increasing the amount of capital and eligible liabilities intended for professional investors, in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework. The total nominal value of the issuance amounts to RSD 6 billion, while the maturity date of the four-year bonds is 12 December 2029. The bonds were issued with a so-called “call” option, which grants the Issuer the right to early redemption of the bonds at their nominal value, under the terms defined in the approved Prospectus.
During the planning and implementation phases of the issuance, UniCredit Bank Serbia achieved close cooperation and received full support from the National Bank of Serbia, the Ministry of Finance, the Securities Commission, the Central Securities Depository and Clearing House, and the Belgrade Stock Exchange.
“This bond issuance represents an important milestone for UniCredit Bank in Serbia, as well as for the domestic financial market. As one of the first issuances of instruments in Serbia aimed at strengthening capital and eligible liabilities in line with the regulatory framework, it confirms our commitment to long-term stability, diversification of funding sources, dinarization, and transparency in operations. We are particularly proud that part of the funds will be directed toward the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and projects that contribute to the green transition of our economy. We would like to thank all investors who recognized UniCredit Bank as one of the market leaders and placed their trust in us,” said Nikola Vuletić, President of the Executive Board of UniCredit Bank.
On this occasion, the Belgrade Stock Exchange organized a “Ring the Bell” ceremony at which the CEO of the Belgrade Stock Exchange, Lazo Ostojić, symbolically marked the start of trading by ringing the bell and emphasized that the inclusion of MREL-eligible bonds of UniCredit Bank represents a significant step forward in the development of the domestic capital market: “The inclusion of these bonds represents a significant contribution to the further development of market infrastructure and the strengthening of the range of financial instruments on the Belgrade Stock Exchange, in line with the objectives of the national Capital Market Development Strategy. UniCredit Bank has recognized the potential of the Exchange as a relevant platform for long-term financing of the domestic economy. We expect that this step will contribute to greater interest and more active participation of other banks and companies in the domestic capital market as well.”
The bonds have been included on the new market segment Open Market – qualified investors, on which trading is permitted exclusively for professional investors, who are required, when submitting orders to a Stock Exchange Member, to provide appropriate proof of their status as a qualified investor. Thanks to this newly established segment, the Belgrade Stock Exchange has also enabled the organization of primary offerings of securities that have restrictions regarding the type of investors who may purchase them. In such cases, the Decision on the organization of primary trading precisely defines the circle of permitted investors, fully in line with the approved Prospectus.
