NLB to Issue Green Senior Preferred Notes

NLB has mandated Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, BNP Paribas, BofA Securities Europe SA and Erste Group Bank AG to together with NLB d.d. as Joint Lead-Managers organise a series of fixed-income meetings ahead of a potential issuance of green notes with 4-year maturity and callable after 3 years. The notes, intended to meet residual current MREL requirement and also future growth opportunities, will be issued if market conditions will be suitable in a benchmark format.

NLB has already announced that it is planning to issue a green note. Its special feature is that the issuer commits to allocate the issue amount in support of suitable green projects that comply with the conditions defined in the publicly announced framework for the green bond (NLB’s framework is available here).

Issuing green bonds is in line with the business strategy of NLB and the NLB Group in our home region of South-eastern Europe, as well as our approach to sustainability, which we have placed at the center of our business decisions and actions in the broadest sense. We plan to use the collected funds to support projects in the field of energy efficiency, energy production from renewable sources, green buildings and clean transport.
