The Sy family-led BDO Unibank Inc. closed early the offer period for its fifth peso-denominated ASEAN Sustainability Bonds issue, signaling strong demand for the deal.

The bank said the offer period, originally set for Jan. 7-19 this year, had ended last Jan. 16 after attracting interest from both retail and institutional investors.

Pricing, tenor

BDO said the bonds have a three-year tenor and will pay a coupon of 5.7125 percent per annum.

The issue, settlement, and listing date is set for Jan. 26, 2026, it added.

Where the money goes

BDO said net proceeds will be used to finance and/or refinance eligible assets under its Sustainable Finance Framework, support lending activities, and diversify funding sources.

Standard Chartered Bank was the sole arranger for the issuance, with BDO and Standard Chartered acting as selling agents.

BDO Capital & Investment Corp. was financial adviser for the bond issue.
