Svensk Hypotekspension examines the possibility to issue mortgage backed notes

Svensk Hypotekspension AB will explore issuing a 48-year, non-call 4-year, SEK-denominated Senior Secured bond for the purpose of refinancing of Svensk Hypotekspension Fond 3 AB (publ), subject to market conditions. The bond will be issued through subsidiary Svensk Hypotekspension Fond 4 AB (publ) and will be backed by a portfolio of equity release mortgages originated by Svensk Hypotekspension AB. The transaction will be governed by Swedish law and will be listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm corporate bond list. Barclays Bank PLC and DNB Bank ASA, Sweden Branch have been mandated as Joint Lead Managers in the transaction.

Svensk Hypotekspension was acquired by Nordax Bank AB (publ) in January 2019. Svensk Hypotekspension AB has originated equity release mortgages since 2005 and the planned issuance represents the third publicly offered mortgage backed transaction from Svensk Hypotekspension. Equity release mortgages are loans for seniors, secured by real estate, second homes or cooperative flats, with quarterly accumulating interest until the borrower chooses to redeem early, moves permanently from the property or deceases. The timing of interest payments and repayment of principal on the notes is dependent on the cash flow from the portfolio, which has been assessed by Fitch. The transaction proceeds will be used to further strengthen the funding position of Svensk Hypotekspension AB.
