Interbank Upsizes Hybrid

Interbank has sold $250m in new 2070 hybrid NC10 notes, upsizing from $150m on about $1.5bn in demand. The Ba3/BB issue priced at par with an 8.500% coupon to yield the tight end of 8.625% area guidance. About 25% of the orders came from Peruvian and other LatAm investors, according to a banker on the deal. He also notes significant retail participation. The step-up junior subordinated NC10 notes are due 2070 and pay the fixed coupon for the first 10 years, before switching to a floating. Proceeds from the transaction will raise funds for the Peruvian bank’s Panama branch, according to rating agencies. The debt is transferred there after it receives an operating license. Bank of America Merrill Lynch and JPMorgan managed the sale, rated Ba3/BB. It followed a US, European and Asian roadshow. The sale was the region’s first step-up hybrid since October, when BB+/BB Peruvian bank BCP sold a $250m 2069 at 9.75%.

CAF Eyes Euros, Local Markets

With expected funding needs of $1bn this year, Corporacion Andina de Fomento (CAF) plans to tap the dollar, euro and local LatAm markets. “We have been issuing [in euros] for years, and would like to go back to that market,” Gabriel Felpeto, the multilateral lender’s director for financial policies and international issues, tells LatinFinance. CAF’s last public euro deal was a EUR300m 5-year in 2006, according to Dealogic. Following up 2009’s JPY10bn ($109m) 10-year Samurai bond is also a possibility. Issuance in domestic markets should also continue to be important, after making up 20% of CAF’s 2009 funding. “We’re looking at all the markets,” Felpeto says, identifying Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Venezuela as possibilities. CAF foresees borrowing about $1bn this year, based on the loan portfolio expanding by a 9%-10% forecast. It has already raised almost $300m through smaller private placements in euros, dollars and Uruguayan pesos. The latter includes a recent $50m 2017 paying a coupon linked to a Uruguayan stock index, sold to a handful of local pension funds. CAF will also continue its commercial paper programs in euros and dollars, and is considering boosting the size of each to $1.5bn/EUR1.5bn from $1bn/EUR1bn.
