On 11 April 2013, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine began making coupon payments for the first coupon period on its Series A Treasury bonds, which were placed from 10 October to 29 November 2012.

The coupon payments to holders of Treasury bonds are made at the offices of Oschadbank (The State Savings Bank of Ukraine) PJSC operating in the territory of Ukraine.

500 USD face value Treasury bond with a coupon rate of 9.2% per annum pays the holder a fixed interest payment of USD 23 per each coupon attached to the Treasury bond. The issuance volume of certificated Series A Treasury bonds issued in bearer form with maturity of 24 months totaled USD 100 million.

During the press conference on “Advantages of Treasury bonds. Coupon payments for the first coupon period on Series A Treasury bonds”, which was held at the Information Agency UKRINFORM  on 11 April  2013, Mr. Oleksandr Dubykhvist, Director of Department of Foreign Exchange Reserve Regulation and Transactions in the Open Market, expressed his satisfaction with new investment opportunities that this instrument offers  for individuals.

“This is a good example to show that individuals are offered the opportunity to invest their funds not only in deposits but also in securities. Just like individuals in other countries across the world who invest mainly in the stock market, individuals in Ukraine are getting accustomed to dealing in different tools available for investment,” noted Mr. Oleksandr Dubykhvist. He emphasized that a treasury bond is one of the first reliable investment instruments available for individuals on the Ukrainian stock market. Furthermore, Treasury bonds pay higher interest rates than savings deposits.

We would like to remind you that the placement of Series B Treasury bonds worth USD 100 million is under way. The yield on Series B Treasury bonds stands at 8% per annum. The holder receives fixed coupon payments of 20 USD per each coupon attached to the Treasury bond. Series B Treasury bonds have been issued with the same maturity and face value as Series A Treasury bonds.

The sale of Treasury bonds, interest payments and redemption of Treasury bonds are carried out at the offices of Oschadbank PJSC operating in the territory of Ukraine.
