UOB prices SORA-referencing capital securities

It is priced 181 bp above the prevailing rate as of 7 January.

UOB has announced the successful pricing of capital securities with a coupon rate that references the Singapore Overnight Rate Average Overnight Indexed Swap (SORA-OIS), a statement read.

The reset coupon rate of the perpetual, non-call five-year additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities on the first call date will reference the five-year SORA-OIS rate.

Priced at a coupon of 2.25% per annum, 181 basis points above the prevailing five-year SORA-OIS as at 7 January, UOB’s latest AT1 securities with a transaction size of $150m were subscribed by high-net-worth and institutional investors.

If the bonds are not redeemed in 2026, the coupon will be reset based on 181 basis points above the five-year SORA-OIS on the first call date.

We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
