Axis Bank to raise $500 m from overseas

28 Feb 2012 Evaluate

Axis Bank joined Reliance Industries in raising funds at attractive rates in US dollars with a $500-million offering. It is to sell five-and-a-half years’ maturity paper for half a billion dollars, which may be priced around 450 basis point over similar maturing US treasuries. Barclays Capital, Citigroup, HSBC, JP Morgan, and Standard Chartered are the lead managers to the issue. The overseas markets are still volatile. The funds will be used for the bank’s overseas operations. The bank will offer the bonds to funds and institutional investors.

The rating company, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, on Monday assigned BBB- rating to the proposed issue of senior unsecured notes by the bank. The notes will be issued under the bank’s existing €2-billion mediumterm notes (MTN) programme. The notes will be issued through Axis Bank’s Dubai International Financial Centre branch.  The proceeds will be used for the bank’s overseas operations or other activities permitted under the applicable laws of India. They will be listed on the Singapore Exchange.  In May 2011, ICICI Bank had raised $1 billion though an international bond issue, having a coupon rate of 4.75% and a tenor of 5.5 years. These fixed-rate bonds were offered at an issue price of around 251.5 basis points over equivalent LIBOR.
