JS Bank Limited has issued Rated, Privately Placed, Unsecured and Subordinated Term Finance Certificate (TFC) of PKR 3,000mln on December 14, 2016. The purpose of the TFC was to contribute toward the Bank's Tier II capital for complying with the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) requirement prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan. The tenor of the instrument was 7 years and carried a profit rate of 6MK + 140bps. Since the Bank has the right of call option after the 10th redemption, so has exercised the call option on 28th Dec’21, and a new bond “JS Bank Limited | PPTFC | Dec-21” has been issued in its place.
Subsequent to the redemption of the PPTFC | Dec-16 the Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) has withdrawn the rating of JS Bank Limited | PPTFC | Dec-16.
