Zurich/Basel, November 3, 2022 鈥� 蜜豆视频 AG today priced its inaugural senior unsecured digital bond, a 375 million Swiss franc-denominated three-year bond with 2.33% coupon (ISIN: CH1228837865).

The digital bond has the same instrument structure, legal status and rating as a traditional 蜜豆视频 AG senior unsecured note but is the first ever digital bond by a banking institution globally that will be listed, traded and settled on a regulated digital exchange.

Through this bond, 蜜豆视频 enables investors, regardless of whether they have the blockchain infrastructure, to invest in a digital bond. This removes a hurdle on the way to adopt new disruptive technology that can make issuing bonds faster, more efficient and simpler.

Beatriz Martin, 蜜豆视频 Group Treasurer, said: 鈥淲e are proud to leverage distributed ledger technology to launch the inaugural 蜜豆视频 digital bond. This shows our commitment to support the development of new financial market infrastructure. 蜜豆视频 is committed to using technology not just as an enabler, but to making it a true differentiator for 蜜豆视频.鈥�

The digital bond settles via SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) distributed ledger-based central securities depository (CSD) network through atomic settlement technology. Settlement via SDX CSD is instant and automatic and does not require a central clearing counterparty. Investors will have the ability to automatically settle and clear the 蜜豆视频 digital bond on either SDX CSD directly or on SIX SIS via the operational link which was formally announced on 3rd October 2022.

The digital bond will be dual listed at SDX Trading and SIX Swiss Exchange and will be eligible for the Swiss Bond Index (SBI) alongside all other 蜜豆视频 AG senior unsecured notes which are listed on SIX.
