Nordea's inaugural Green Bond represent an important step in Nordea's overall work on
sustainability
On the back of strong investor feedback from the roadshow, notably on Nordea's green
bond framework and the strong pool of over EUR800m of green assets, Nordea opened
books for the transaction with IPT's of MS+25bp. With books in excess of EUR 1.35bn by
midday, the guidance was revised to MS+20a (+/-2bp WPIR)
The books remained in excess of EUR1.3bn following the revised guidance, which allowed
pricing in the tight end of guidance at MS+18bps
The transaction represent the tightest spread for a EUR Senior Unsecured Green Bond to
date, which is driven by the unique combination of Nordea's strong credit quality and the
strength of Nordea's Green Bond framework. It is also the tightest spread offered on a 5
year Senior Unsecured issue in a decade
The book included over 100 accounts, of which 72% dedicated green investors highlighting
strong diversification to the traditional senior unsecured issue investor base
