The facility was mandated to Mizuho Bank Limited to lead and arrange with the purpose of meeting the bank’s general funding and working capital needs.
The bank recently successfully launched a senior unsecured five-year bond worth $500 million at a new price benchmark.
The transaction was launched at the set spread of +175 bps over five-year mid swaps and priced at a coupon rate of 2 percent and yield of 2.083 year. The issue was oversubscribed 3.8 times.
This transaction marked CB’s successful return to the US $ public markets since 2018 and effectively repriced CBQ’s funding curve down.

Investors have positively viewed the strong execution of CBQ’s five-year strategy which has significantly improved the performance of the bank.
