The placement brings the aggregate size of the tapped issue to €281.9 million, with total drawdowns under CEC Bank’s €600 million EMTN Programme now amounting to €414 million.

The international Dentons team for the issuer comprised Bucharest partner Loredana Chitu, Head of the Capital Markets practice in Romania, and Frankfurt partner Oliver Dreher, Head of the Debt Capital Markets (DCM) practice group in Germany, as well as counsel Oana Ionascu and associates Alin Roca and Alexandra Sofineti in Bucharest, associate Nadja Reiß in Frankfurt, and senior associate Philippa Münnich-Winter in Berlin.
