Kochi, March 09, 2023: State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest lender, has raised Rs. 3717 crores through its third Basel III compliant Additional Tier 1 bond issuance in the current financial year on Wednesday at a coupon rate of 8.25%. The proceeds of bonds will be utilized in augmenting Additional Tier 1 Capital and the overall capital base of the Bank and strengthening capital adequacy in accordance with RBI Guidelines. The tenor of these bonds is perpetual with a call option after 10 years and every anniversary thereafter. The issue attracted an overwhelming response from investors with bids of Rs. 4537 crores and was oversubscribed by about 2.27 times against the base issue of Rs 2000 crores. The total number of bids was 53 indicating wider participation. The investors were across provident & pension funds & insurance companies.
Based on the response, the Bank has decided to accept Rs. 3717 crores at a coupon rate of 8.25% payable annually. This represents the spread of 66 bps over the corresponding FBIL G-Sec par curve on March 8, 2023. Before this, the Bank had raised Additional Tier 1 Bonds of Rs. 4,544 crores on February 21, 2023 at a spread of 71 bps over the corresponding FBIL G-Sec par curve on the date of bidding. The Bank has AA+ with a stable outlook credit rating from domestic credit rating agencies for these instruments.
This issuance is also very significant as the Bank has been able to successively diversify and raise long-term Additional Tier 1 capital with a call option after 10 years and this will help the bank in managing its capital adequacy effectively. Of the total outstanding of the Bank’s Additional Tier 1 Bonds is Rs. 49,842.70 crores, Basel III AT1 bonds with a call option of 5 years is Rs. 41,581.70 crores and AT1 bonds with a call option of 10 years is Rs 8261 crores. We believe that this issuance may help in developing a long-term Additional Tier 1 bond curve and encourage banks to effectively manage their Additional Tier 1 capital.
