What's happening with NAB shares?
The NAB share price could be falling as banks continue to feel the knock-on effects of the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision on Tuesday to raise the cash rate by 0.50%. All the major banks saw their share prices fall on Wednesday as investors digested the news.
There was also a non-price-sensitive announcement out of NAB after the market closed yesterday.
According to the update, NAB announced that it has allocated $2 billion under the capital notes 6 offer. Previously, the bank set aside around $1 billion.
The revised offer size appears to be from the heavy demand by participating syndicate brokers and institutional investors.
Furthermore, management disclosed that the margin will be at 3.15% per annum on the back of the successful bookbuild.
A replacement prospectus will be available for investors to view next Tuesday.
The capital notes are being issued as part of NAB's ongoing funding and capital management strategy. Management will distribute the proceeds towards the bank's general corporate and funding purposes.
There have been no changes to the capital notes 6 closing date, which is expected on 30 June 2022. Settlement will take place on 7 July, with the notes available for trading the following day.
