YEREVAN, May 29. /ARKA/. Unibank has issued a new tranche of perpetual AMD-denominated bonds with a volume of AMD 9 billion, available exclusively to the bank’s shareholders. The coupon rate of the new issuance is set at 13.25% per annum, making it one of the most attractive offerings on the market for investors seeking stable long-term returns.

Investors who are not currently shareholders of the bank may gain access to the perpetual bonds by purchasing Unibank shares. The bank is currently placing another tranche of ordinary shares worth AMD 3.9 billion. A total of 10 million shares are expected to be placed by September 9, 2026.

The minimum purchase amount is 100 bonds.

The coupon rate for the new tranche is set at 13.25% per annum for the first 36 months, after which it will be determined based on the yield curve of government bonds. Coupon payments will be made semi-annually.
