BDO Unibank Inc. has launched the public offering of its fifth peso-denominated ASEAN Sustainability Bonds, with a minimum aggregate issue size of P5 billion, as part of its continuing sustainable finance initiatives.

The fixed-rate sustainability bonds follow the bank’s four previous issuances since January 2022, which have raised a combined P286.7 billion. Proceeds from the latest offering will be used to support BDO’s lending activities and diversify its funding sources.

According to the bank, the net proceeds will be allocated to finance or refinance eligible assets in line with BDO’s Sustainable Finance Framework.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has confirmed that the proposed issuance complies with the ASEAN Sustainability Bond Standards and the requirements under the SEC’s ASEAN Sustainability Bond Circular.

The bonds will have a tenor of three years and carry a coupon rate of 5.7125 percent per annum. The minimum investment amount is P500,000, with additional increments of P100,000 thereafter.

The offer period runs from 7 to 19 January 2026, while the issue, settlement, and listing date is scheduled for 26 January 2026. BDO noted that it reserves the right to amend the terms and timing of the issuance as necessary.

Standard Chartered Bank serves as the sole arranger of the bond offering, with BDO Unibank and Standard Chartered Bank acting as selling agents. BDO Capital & Investment Corporation is the financial advisor for the issuance.

The bonds are securities exempt from registration under Section 9.1(e) of the Securities Regulation Code and will not be registered under the SRC.
