Piraeus Financial Holdings Successfully Priced a €400mn Additional Tier 1 Instrument

Piraeus Financial Holdings S.A. (“Piraeus” or the “Group”) (ATHEX: TPEIR) (OTCQX:BPIRY) (OTCQX: BPIRF) announces that it has successfully completed the pricing of €400 million Fixed Rate Reset Additional Tier 1 Perpetual Contingent Temporary Write-Down Notes (the “Notes”).

The AT1 Notes carry a coupon at 6.750%, which is paid semi-annually, on 30 June and 30 December in each year. They are perpetual and callable on 30 December 2030 or in any interest payment date thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions of the Notes. Settlement will take place on 30 June 2025 and the Notes will be listed on the Luxembourg Exchange’s Euro MTF market. The Notes have been assigned a “B1” rating from Moody’s Ratings.

The AT1 offering contributes towards the implementation of the Group’s strategic plan, optimizes the capital stack throughout the planning horizon, and further strengthens the Group’s total capital adequacy ratio to 20.6% (proforma Mar.25).

The transaction attracted significant interest from circa 230 institutional investors, with c.70% placed among asset managers, c.21% to banks and private banks, and c.9% to hedge funds and other investors. Approximately 90% was allocated to international institutional investors, with demand mainly from the UK & Ireland (37%), France (21%) and the DACH1 region (12%).

The total order book of the transaction exceeded €3 billion, being more than 7.5x oversubscribed compared to the issuance target of €400 million.

The success of the transaction is a clear testament of investor confidence in Piraeus. This is reflected in the final yield, at 6.75%, which is 50bps below the initial guidance of 7.25%.

Barclays, BofA Securities, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, Nomura, and UBS Investment Bank (B&D) acted as joint bookrunners of the issue. Ambrosia Capital and Piraeus Bank S.A. acted as co-managers of the issue. A&O Shearman and Bernitsas Law Firm acted as legal advisors to Piraeus.
