Allen & Overy advised Santander Bank Polska S.A. on the issue of its EUR 500,000,000 Eurobonds.

This was Santander Bank Polska S.A.'s first ever issue of Eurobonds. Santander acted as Sole Arranger of the Programme and Sole Bookrunner on the bond issuance. J.P. Morgan and PKO Bank Polski acted as Joint Lead Managers (no-books). The Eurobonds will be listed on Euronext Dublin.

Allen & Overy's team was led by Partners Piotr Lesinski in Warsaw and Philip Smith in London, supported by Lukasz Walczyna, counsel (Warsaw), Michael Hossack, associate (London), and Kamil Czerepak, associate (Warsaw).

Piotr Lesinski, partner in Allen & Overy Warsaw's ICM Department, said: We are delighted to have had this opportunity to advise Santander Bank Polska on its first issue of Eurobonds. It serves to emphasise our ICM Department's position as a top-notch legal adviser to Polish clients on their international bond issues.

Philip Smith added: Santander Bank Polska's issue of Eurobonds is yet further evidence of our position as leading legal advisers to CEE issuers accessing the international capital markets.
