By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 5 – Lenta Ltd. said it set the initial coupon rate on its RUB 5 billion of 10-year BO-03 series bonds at 12.4%.

The indicative coupon was set in the range of 12.2% to 12.7%, and the final interest rate was set at 12.4% at the close of book building, according to a company notice.

Interest for the first 30 months will be payable semiannually, with the first coupon payment due six months after the initial settlement date. All five coupon payments will bear the same rate of 12.4%, the release noted.

The BO-O3 series bonds have a 30-month put option from placement and a nominal value of RUB 1,000 each.

Order books opened Aug. 3 and closed Aug. 4. The bonds will be placed on MOEX and settled Aug. 6.
