On 1 April 2014, new rules on the interest rate fixing and refinancing of Danish covered bonds entered into force. According to the new rules, the interest rate of floating-rate bonds cannot be fixed at a level that is more than 5 percentage points higher than the most recently fixed interest rate, and it must remain unchanged for 12 months or until the next refinancing unless a lower interest rate has been fixed before then.
The Nykredit Group has completed the sale of 1-year floating-rate bonds in connection with the refinancing as at 1 July 2015 of floating-rate covered bonds subject to semi-annual interest rate fixing. A new interest rate was fixed for the bonds at end-June.
The interest rate levels that may trigger an extraordinary interest rate fixing in respect of the new floating-rate covered bonds are as follows:
ISIN | Interest rate trigger |
DK000950661-0 | 5.2205% |
DK000950688-3 | 5.7594% |
