BDO Unibank Inc. shortened the offer period for its latest peso-denominated ASEAN sustainability bond issuance after attracting strong demand from retail and institutional investors.
The offer period, originally scheduled to run from Jan. 7 to 19, 2026, closed on Jan. 16, the Philippines’ largest lender said Tuesday in a disclosure to the stock exchange.
The bank cited robust investor appetite for the bonds, which carry a 3-year tenor and a fixed coupon rate of 5.7125 percent per annum.
It said it would use the proceeds to finance or refinance eligible assets under the bank’s Sustainable Finance Framework, supporting lending activities and diversifying funding sources.
The issue, settlement and listing of the bonds are scheduled for Jan. 26, 2026.
Standard Chartered Bank is the sole arranger for the transaction, while BDO Unibank and Standard Chartered Bank are selling agents. BDO Capital & Investment Corp. is the financial adviser.
The issuance marks the bank’s 5th peso-denominated sustainability bond offering since January 2022. To date, the lender has raised P286.7 billion through these instruments.
The Securities and Exchange Commission confirmed the issuance complies with ASEAN Sustainability Bond Standards, which support projects with environmental and social benefits.
