Subject of the Disclosure

UnionBank raises ₱18.168 billion for its dual-tranche 1.5Y and 3Y Bond Offering

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Union Bank of the Philippines (“UnionBank”) successfully raised ₱18.168 billion of Peso denominated fixed rate bonds via a dual tranche offering. This is the largest bond issuance by UnionBank from its ₱50 billion Bonds Program, which received strong demand from both retail and institutional investors. This enabled the Bank to upsize the issuance to over nine times its initial minimum offer size of ₱2 billion for the two tranches.

The 1.5Y Series F Bonds due 2025 raised a total of ₱10.3385 billion and carries an interest rate of 6.5625% per annum while the 3Y Series G Bonds due 2026 raised a total of ₱7.8295 billion and carries an interest rate of 6.6800% per annum (collectively, the “New Bonds”).

Concurrent with the issuance of the New Bonds, UnionBank also implemented the country’s first public non-sovereign bond exchange which extended to the holders of its ₱8.115 billion 2.750% Fixed Rate Series C Bonds due December 9, 2023 (the “Exchangeable Bonds”) the option to sell to UnionBank such Exchangeable Bonds in exchange for subscription to any of the New Bonds (the “Bond Exchange”). The Bond Exchange settlement date is on December 4, 2023, with ₱236.7 million of Exchangeable Bonds to be exchanged with the New Bonds.

The New Bonds will be issued and listed on the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp. on December 5, 2023.

ING Bank N.V., Manila Branch (“ING”) and Standard Chartered Bank (“SCB”) are the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners for the New Bonds. They are also the Selling Agents for the offering of the New Bonds together with UnionBank.

THE BONDS BEING OFFERED OR SOLD HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (“SEC”) UNDER THE SECURITIES REGULATION CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES AND ITS IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS (“SRC”). ANY FUTURE OFFER OR SALE OF THE BONDS IS SUBJECT TO THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SRC UNLESS SUCH OFFER OR SALE IS MADE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE BONDS QUALIFY AS EXEMPT SECURITIES OR SUCH OFFER OR SALE QUALIFIES AS AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION UNDER THE SRC.
