OREANDA-NEWS. The order book was closed for MegaFon PJSC's series BO-001P-01 three-year bonds worth RUB 10 bln, which are placed under the programme 4-00822-J-001P-02E. Each bond has a nominal price of RUB 1,000. The placement price is 100% of the nominal. The bonds have a semi-annual coupon (182 days). The rates for coupons 2-6 are equal to that of first coupon.

The initial guidance for the first coupon was set at 10.2-10.4% per annum, which corresponds to a yield to maturity of 10.46-10.67% per annum. During book building the guidance was lowered to 10-10.2% per annum (yield of 10.25-10.46% per annum) and then to 9.95-10.1% per annum (yield of 10.2-10.36%), and then narrowed to 9.95-10% (yield of 10.2-10.25%).

During marketing overall demand for the bonds exceeded RUB 30 bln. Following book building the first coupon was set at 9.95% per annum, which corresponds to a yield to maturity of 10.2% per annum.

The technical placement of the issue is planned for May 12, 2016. The placement was organised by Sberbank CIB, Gazprombank, Raiffeisenbank and Unicredit Bank.
