INVESTEC BANK LIMITED US$250,000,000 AND EUR200,000,000 DUAL CURRENCY TERM LOAN

 

We are pleased to announce the successful closing of a US$250,000,000 and EUR200,000,000 Dual Currency Term Loan Facilities (the “Facilities”) for Investec Bank Limited (“Investec” or the “Borrower”) on 24th October 2025.  Bank of America Europe DAC, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, London Branch, Mizuho Bank, Ltd and State Bank of India, Johannesburg acted as Coordinators, Bookrunners and Mandated Lead Arrangers for the Facilities.  Bank of America Europe DAC acted as Documentation Agent and Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft. acts as Facility Agent. The proceeds of the loan are to be used for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of the Borrower’s US$500,000,000 syndicated term loan facility signed on 6th November 2023.  This is Investec’s first dual-currency syndicated loan and as such the first to be partly denominated in Euro.

The Facilities were initially launched at EUR300,000,000 eq. and achieved a substantial oversubscription over the launch amount.  Commitments were scaled back and the significant market demand further allowed the deal to be increased, closing at US$250,000,000 and EUR200,000,000.  A total of 22 banks committed to the transaction from across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.  The success of the deal highlights the international syndicated loan market’s continued support for Investec.  Competitive pricing, the dual currency and a single 2 + 1 year tranche further demonstrates the appeal of the transaction to lenders.

Investec Bank Limited

Facilities Amounts:

US$250,000,000 and EUR200,000,000
