Press release, 30 August 2024 at 9:30 a.m. EEST

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OR TO ANY PERSON LOCATED OR RESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO ANY U.S. PERSON (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S OF THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED) OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OR OTHERWISE IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE OFFERING OF THE NOTES OR THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

Mandatum Life Insurance Company Limited, a subsidiary of Mandatum plc, will issue new subordinated Tier 2 notes in an aggregate principal amount of EUR 300 million. The notes have a 15.25-year tenor and mature in December 2039. The coupon to be paid is fixed 4.5 per cent until 4 December 2029 after which the rate of interest will be floating. Subject to certain conditions, the issuer has the right to redeem the notes after five years from the issue. Mandatum Life Insurance Company Limited will apply for the bond to be listed on the Global Exchange Market of Euronext Dublin.

“We are very pleased with the outcome of the arrangement – the bond issue received an excellent response from the market. Investor interest was strong, and the order book included orders worth over one billion euros from more than 120 Nordic and international investors. It is a sign of investors' broad confidence in Mandatum and its strategy, and a great continuation of the company's successful listing on the Helsinki Stock Exchange last fall,” says Mandatum’s CFO Matti Ahokas.

The Tier 2 notes further strengthen the solvency and improve the capital efficiency of the company. The proceeds shall be used for the redemption of the existing EUR 250 million Tier 2 notes due in 2049. Mandatum Life Insurance Company Limited announced on 19 August 2024 that it has published a notice to the noteholders regarding an early redemption of the notes on their first call date of 4 October 2024.

BofA Securities, Danske Bank and Nordea Bank acted as joint bookrunners in the issuance.

The final listing particulars of the notes will be available in English from 4 September 2024 on the company’s webpage https://www.mandatum.fi/en/group/investors/financial-information/debt-instruments/.
