BANCOLOMBIA S.A. PRICES THE OFFER OF SENIOR NOTES
Medellin, Colombia, May 24th, 2011
Bancolombia S.A. (the “Bank”) today announced that it has priced US$1 billion in aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes due 2021 (“Senior Notes”).
The Senior Notes have a 10-year maturity and a coupon of 5.95%, payable semi-annually on June 3 and December 3 of each year, beginning on December 3, 2011. The transaction is expected to close on June 3, 2011, subject to customary closing conditions.
Proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include growth in the loan portfolio, acquisitions and any other use approved by the Bank’s bylaws and permitted by applicable banking and foreign exchange regulations.
The offering is being made within the United States only to "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States to persons that are not "U.S. persons," as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sales of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The Senior Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
