Mizuho to begin roadshow Monday for euro-denominated green bonds

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 25 – Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. plans to price an inaugural benchmark issue of euro-denominated fixed- or floating-rate senior green bonds (expected A1/expected A-) with a maturity of five to 10 years, according to a market source.

The issuer has mandated Mizuho Securities, BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays, BNP Paribas and Natixis to arrange a series of investor meetings in Europe beginning on Oct. 2 as joint lead managers. Mizuho Securities and BofA Merrill Lynch are acting as joint green structuring agents.

The Regulation S transaction will be issued under the company’s euro medium-term note program and is expected to price “in the near future,” subject to market conditions.

FCA/ICMA stabilization applies.

Mizuho is a Tokyo-based financial institution.
