OMA SAVINGS BANK PLC, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 27 SEPTEMBER 2022 AT 10.40 A.M. EET, INFORMATION DISCLOSED TO THE RULES OF THE EXCHANGE
Oma Savings Bank Plc's EUR 20 million debenture loan has been fully subscribed
The EUR 20 million debenture loan issued by Oma Savings Bank Plc (OmaSp or the Company) on 15 September 2022 has been fully subscribed on 27 September 2022, and the sale of the loan has been suspended before the end of the sale period. The debenture loan is fully credited to the Company's Tier 2 capital.
Earlier in September, OmaSp announced its measures to strengthen the Company's capital structure due to changes in the interest rate environment. The Company's Total Capital (TC) ratio was 13.4% at the end of June 2022. During the third quarter, the Company's capital adequacy position has remained stable and the Company's Total Capital (TC) ratio was 13.5% at the end of August 2022.
The debenture loan is a popular savings product among the Company's customers, and the first debenture loan was fully subscribed within nine days of sale. The effect of the issued debenture loan on the Company's capital adequacy is about 0.8 percentage points improving the Total Capital (TC) ratio.
In addition, the Company has said that it is preparing to issue another debenture loan of 20–30 million euros in the latter part of 2022. Issuance of debenture loans strengthens the capital structure and prepares for changes in the interest rate environment.
With the above issuances the amount of the Company's Tier 2 capital will increase by EUR 40-50 million during the financial year 2022. Debenture loans and other ongoing measures have a significant positive effect on the development of the Company's capital adequacy.
| Company-level capital adequacy | 31 August 2022 | 31 July 2022 | 30 June 2022 |
| Total capital (TC) ratio | 13.5% | 14.0% | 13.4% |
