United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Bhd has successfully priced RM1 billion of Tier 2 subordinated medium-term notes (MTN) due in October 2032.
The issuance is callable, or redeemable, in October 2027 at a fixed coupon rate of 4.9% per annum.
Chief executive officer Ng Wei Wei said “the successful transaction, reflected by the strong rating and the tight pricing achieved, is a testament to UOB Malaysia’s solid credit profile and robust business fundamentals”.
