The bond (ISIN DE000A2GSR47) was successfully issued on 7 May 2020. The order book was several times oversubscribed. With a term of seven years, the bonds bear interest at an annual rate of 0.01 per cent. WIBank is the infrastructure and development bank of the Federal State of Hesse and has a refinancing guarantee from the Federal State of Hesse.
Jochen Seitz and his team had already advised a consortium of banks in connection with the issue of a WIBank bond in 2018.
