Deal summary
• The mandated banks gauged investor sentiment for such a transaction and scouted
likely timing and guidance at the open. Given the supportive market environment, it
was decided to go ahead on this very day.Investor response was very brisk as soon as
the mandate announcement hit the screens on Thursday March 8, 2012.
• After rapidly assessing market conditions, books were officially opened at 10:10 CET
with an initial price thoughts of "Mid Swaps + 8 to 10bps". The official price guidance
was set a Mid Swaps +7bps area at 11:00 CET following the strong investor response.
Books closed at 12:30 CET with a final orderbook size of EUR 2.6bn and 113 high
quality accounts involved, allowing thus to set final terms for a EUR 1bn issue at MS + 6
bps, below the initial guidance, while giving care for potential after-market
performance.
• The final spread and transaction size testify of the popularity of Luxembourg's
signature. The two previous transactions' high performance undeniably helped to
build a strong momentum enabling the Grand Duchy to successfully launch its third
bond issue in an historically low absolute yield environment.
In total, 113 investors participated in the transaction coming from 18 jurisdictions -
illustrating the granular placement and broad appeal of this rare issuer. Luxembourg
domestic accounts also strongly supported the deal accounting for 33% of the
transaction.
