A&O Shearman has advised Kvika Bank on the establishment of
a EUR1bn European premium covered bond program, marking only the
fourth Icelandic covered bond program and the first to be
established in the market for a number of years.
The program provides Kvika Bank with a significant platform for
accessing the European capital markets through covered bond
issuances, further strengthening its funding capabilities and
presence in the international debt markets.
“As only the fourth program of its kind, and the
first to be established in a number of years, it reflects growing
confidence among Nordic issuers in accessing the European capital
markets through sophisticated structured finance platforms. We are
proud to have delivered a seamless, cross-border solution for Kvika
Bank as it expands its presence in the international capital
markets.”
A&O Shearman also acts for Kvika Bank on its medium-term
note programme, reflecting the firm's longstanding relationship
with the Icelandic bank across its capital markets activities.
