Allen & Overy has advised a syndicate of banks on the successful issue of a EUR 5 bn bond (ISIN: DE000A2LQSS1) by KfW. The syndicate comprised BNP Paribas, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and TD Securities. TD Securities also acted as technical lead.

The bond with an interest rate of 0.00 per cent. and a term of three years has been admitted for trading in the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.  The issue met with high demand from investors both in Germany and abroad and was thus significantly oversubscribed.

The Allen & Overy team was led by partner Christoph Enderstein and included associate Sang-Woon Lee and transaction support officer Beate Loris (all International Capital Markets, Frankfurt).

In-house transaction management services for TD Securities were provided by Beverley Tyrrell and Joshi Chandni.
