BMA Capital successfully closes UBL’s issue of Tier-1 Term Finance Certificates
Karachi: February 08th, 2019: BMA Capital Management Limited (“BMA”), Pakistan’s premier financial services’ firm, recently successfully raised PKR 10 Billion in Additional Tier 1 Term Finance Certificates (“TFC”) for United Bank Limited (“UBL” or the “Bank”). The TFC, which has been issued to increase the Bank’s capital adequacy ratio, is the largest publicly listed Additional Tier 1 debt instrument in the history of Pakistan’s capital market.
As Consultant to the Issue, BMA was actively involved in transaction structuring, documentation, preparing marketing material, conducting investor presentations and one-one meetings, liaising with regulatory authorities and obtaining relevant approvals to ensure the smooth execution of the transaction.
In order to maximize demand, the transaction was undertaken in two phases i.e. a Private Placement of PKR 6 Billion for institutional investors, with a Green-Shoe option to raise further PKR 3 billion (“Pre-IPO”) followed by an Initial Public Offering of PKR 1 Billion to retail investors (“IPO”).
The Pre-IPO witnessed stellar demand, being oversubscribed by 50%, resulting in the Green-Shoe option being exercised and was closed at PKR 9 Billion. The Pre-IPO witnessed active participation by a diverse investor base which included banks, insurance companies, employee funds, and development financial institutions and local corporates.
The IPO, which was Pakistan’s first public offering of 2019, also garnered an overwhelming response from the general public, being subscribed by more than 160%. Over a two-day period, investors from all over Pakistan generated demand in excess PKR 1.6 Billion versus an issue size of PKR 1 Billion, making it one of the most successful IPOs in the bonds market to date.
