FRANKFURT - Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE:DB) has announced the completion of a securities offering, specifically a perpetual bond issue, without the initiation of stabilisation measures. The offering, which was first announced on November 14, 2024, involved the issuance of EUR 1.5 billion in Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital with an April 2032 reset date. The securities, identified by ISIN DE000A383S52, were priced at 100.063% with a reoffer yield of 7.375% per annum.
The bank's decision to refrain from market stabilisation, a process that can involve buying back securities to support the price, suggests confidence in the demand for this debt issuance. Stabilisation activities are typically conducted under strict regulatory conditions to prevent market manipulation and are disclosed to inform investors about potential interventions in the securities' trading.
The transaction was managed by Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) Aktiengesellschaft itself, which acted as the stabilising manager, although no such actions were required or undertaken. The absence of stabilisation activities indicates that the market conditions and investors' appetite were sufficient to support the securities' price without the need for intervention.
The AT1 securities are a form of contingent convertible capital instruments that are designed to absorb losses in times of financial stress by converting into equity or suffering a write-down. They are a critical component of a bank's capital structure, intended to provide a buffer against potential financial difficulties.
This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States, as the securities have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and are not permitted to be sold in the U.S. absent registration or an exemption from registration. Consequently, there will be no public offering of the securities in the United States.
The information disclosed is based on a press release statement provided by RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG), and is approved by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280).
