Moody’s rates Itau Unibanco notes Ba1

Moody’s Investors Service said it assigned a B1(hyb) rating to the proposed dollar-denominated contractual non-viability tier 2 subordinated notes due 2031 to be issued by Itau Unibanco Holding SA (Cayman Islands) branch under its $100 billion global medium-term note program. The notes will have a call option in five years.

“The B1(hyb) rating assigned to the new tier 2 subordinated notes is positioned two notches below the ba2 adjusted baseline credit assessment (adjusted BCA) of Itau Unibanco SA (IU), in line with Moody’s standard notching guidance for contractual non-viability subordinated debt with a full or partial principal write-down triggered at or close to the point of non-viability,” the agency said in a press release.
