Suncorp successfully completes Capital Notes 2 Bookbuild raising A$300 million
Suncorp Group Limited (Suncorp) today announced that it has successfully completed the Bookbuild for its offer of Capital Notes 2 (the Offer) announced on 23 October 2017.
Through the Bookbuild process, Suncorp has allocated $300 million of Capital Notes 2 under the Broker Firm Offer and Institutional Offer on a firm basis. The Margin has been set at 3.65% p.a., the bottom of the Margin range of 3.65% - 3.85% p.a. indicated at launch. The final size of the Offer will depend on the volume of Applications received and accepted under the Reinvestment Offer with Suncorp reserving the right to scale back Applications or increase the final size of the Offer if there is excess demand.
Steve Johnston, Suncorp Chief Financial Officer (CFO) said, "We received strong demand and are pleased with the level of investor support shown for the Offer."
Full details of this investment opportunity and the terms and conditions of Capital Notes 2, including the Margin and increased Offer size, are set out in the replacement Prospectus which will be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) and Australian Securities Exchange on 31 October 2017.
Eligible CPS2 Holders wishing to apply to reinvest their CPS2 in Capital Notes 2 should complete the Application Form (either electronic or paper) included in or accompanying the replacement Prospectus. Suncorp has decided not to proceed with the Securityholder Offer given the level of demand received under the Bookbuild.
