Alfa Bank Ukraine redeems Eurobond in full

Обзор облигаций 30.07.2012 Alfa Bank Ukraine (ALFAUA) redeemed the last USD 105 mln tranche of a USD 840 mln Eurobond on Friday, the lender’s press service said. The bond was issued in August 2009 to replace three outstanding notes maturing in 2009, 2010 and 2011 so as to ease the bank’s repayment scheduled in the wake of the liquidity crisis. The sinkable Eurobond carried a coupon rate of 13% and the principal was repaid in eight equal quarterly installments since October 2010. Alfa Bank’s official said that the bank might seek to raise money internationally already this year, providing interest rates are acceptable for the lender.
