Nordax Bank (“Nordax”) has successfully issued 250 MSEK of Tier 2 capital further strengthening its capital structure. Based on strong investor demand mainly in the Nordic region, Nordax has issued 250 MSEK at an attractive price.

Once the refinancing transaction is completed, Nordax’s outstanding notes will include 250 MSEK in Tier 2 capital, 500 MSEK in senior unsecured bonds as well as 3,110 MSEK in asset backed securities (ABS). Morten Falch CEO comments: “We are pleased with the level of interest among investors and the refinancing of Tier 2 notes is in line with Nordax’s funding strategy. We are unique among peers in the Nordic market as we have a diversified funding structure based on four pillars; deposits, unsecured bonds, ABS and warehouse funding. We continue to take a conservative approach to liquidity risk and continuously keep 40 per cent of our deposits as liquidity reserves. The new tier two capital will help support our growth efforts.” Transaction details: Issuer: Nordax Bank AB (Publ) Face value: SEK 250 000 000 Instrument: Subordinated Tier 2 Notes Ranking: Subordinated Maturity: Final maturity 18 March 2025 Interest Rate: 3 months Stibor +5.75% Call Rights: After 5 years, i.e. 18 March 2020 Joint book runners: Danske Bank and Carnegie Contacts For more information, please contact Morten Falch, CEO, +46 8 690 15 07, morten.falch@nordax.se Johanna Clason, Treasurer, +46 8 690 18 68, johanna.clason@nordax.se Camilla Wirth, CFO, +46 8 690 15 07, camilla.wirth@nordax.se Åse Lindskog, Media and Investor Relations, +46 730 24 48 72, ase.lindskog@nordax.se About Nordax Nordax is one of the leading niche banks in the Nordic region providing unsecure consumer loans and deposits to about 100,000 customers in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Germany.
