The tender offer will remain open until 11 a.m. ET on Oct. 1.
The tender is being held to “manage upcoming debt repayments and to extend the average debt maturity profile of the offeror,” according to an announcement.
Albania plans to issue euro-denominated fixed-rate notes with some proceeds of the issue to be used to purchase the notes.

Noteholders who subscribe for new notes in addition to tendering in the offer may receive priority in the allocation of the new issue, the release noted.
Tender instructions must be sent for a minimum principal amount of €100,000 and in integrals of €1,000 after that.
Settlement is expected to occur on Oct. 9.
