The bank is holding the exchange “to manage the maturity profile of the company's existing debt by extending the maturity of a portion of its outstanding debt from 2020, the maturity of the existing notes, until 2023, the maturity of the new notes,” according to the bank announcement.

Holders who tender their notes for exchange before the early deadline will receive $1,082.19 of new notes for each $1,000 principal amount, which includes an early premium of $30 per $1,000 of notes.

The new notes to be issued in the exchange on the early date are expected to be consolidated, form a single series and be fully fungible with the company's $200 million of 3 3/8% notes due Jan. 18, 2023.

As reported, Interbank priced $200 million of 3 3/8% five-year notes on Jan. 10 at 99.936 to yield 3.389%, or a spread of Treasuries plus 105 basis points.
