Debt Issuance Programme

BayernLB’s Debt Issuance Programme currently has a maximum issuance amount of EUR 60 billions. We use it for general funding in the European capital markets and for the continuous issue of bearer bonds in German-speaking markets.

Product structures

The product spectrum of our Debt Issuance Programme comprises fixed and floating rate notes and notes with straightforward interest rate structures, with fixed maturity dates in each case. On a case-by-case basis products may embed early redemption rights.

Our Debt Issuance Programme allows us to issue notes in both large and small denominations

Asset classes

Our Debt Issuance Programme facilitates the issue of:

  • covered bonds (Pfandbriefe)
  • bonds in standard format
  • bonds in the eligible liabilities format
  • subordinated bonds in the format for Tier 2 capital instruments

Apart from covered bonds and subordinated Tier 2 bonds, we distinguish between bonds in “standard format” and bonds in the “eligible liabilities format” in our Debt Issuance Programme.

Each of those formats constitutes unsecured and unsubordinated bearer bonds. However, bonds in the eligible liabilities format are intended to count towards our minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities. To that end, the terms and conditions of bonds in the eligible liabilities format reflect the eligibility criteria of subsection 2 of Article 72b of the CRR (Regulation (EU) No 575/2013). This is not the case for bonds in standard format.

We may issue bonds in the eligible liabilities format as preferred senior bonds or as non-preferred senior bonds. Bonds in standard format will always be issued as preferred senior bonds.
