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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
