Following the announcement on Monday, 4th June, of a new 10-year issue with the possibility to add a 50-
year tranche, the Slovak Republic ("Slovakia") together with the JLMs decided to opt for a swift execution
on the next day. As the investor feedback was very constructive across both tranches supported by a
positive market backdrop the group finally proceeded with both tenors
While IPTS were set at MS +20bps area and MS +90/+95bps for the 10- and 50-year transactions,
respectively, the combined lol book which soon reached over EUR 4.1bn (skewed towards the 10-year
line) allowed to go out with a guidance of MS +15bps area and MS +90bps area, respectively
Both orderbooks continued to develop very nicely and eventually reached over EUR 3.4bn from over 150
accounts in the 10-years and more than EUR 1.6bn from over 125 investors in the 50-years, respectively
Consequently, the final spreads were set at MS +10bps and MS +80bps for the 10- and 50-year
transaction, respectively, which implies a small new issue concession in the high single digits for the 10-
year and 15bps for the 50-year deal
While this milestone deal underlines the utmost trust from the international investor base towards Slovakia
as an issuer, the half century bond will serve as a main reference point for sovereign issuers worldwide
