ING announces liability management actions
ING Bank announced today a number of liability management actions. ING will offer bondholders an opportunity to exchange seven series of subordinated debt into CRD-IV eligible Tier 2 securities. This enables ING to proactively optimise the Bank’s capital structure in anticipation of the upcoming CRD-IV implementation. In addition ING Bank will call USD 2 billion of hybrid Tier 1 securities which will lower its funding costs. The European Commission has authorized the transactions.
