Georg Funke, CEO of Hypo Real Estate Bank International and Chairman of the Managing Board of Hypo Real Estate Holding AG: 'The success of our second Benchmark transaction really reflects the acceptance of the capital markets of the business model of Hypo Real Estate Bank International and of Hypo Real Estate Group“.
The second Benchmark issue was preceded by an extensive investor marketing roadshow in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and the UK. The demand was so strong that book building had to be finished already on Monday, two days earlier than originally planned. Therefore, the Reoffer-Price of 99,667% was fixed at the lower end of the originally planned price range.

This acceptance is a result of continuous communication with our investors and the Banks clear-cut funding strategy.“
