Dentons on KIB’s capital issuance
Dentons advised Kuwait International Bank on its US§300 million Tier 1 capital sukuk issuance, with local international banks acting as joint lead managers and bookrunners for the transaction.
The Tier 1 capital sukuk was issued by KIB Tier 1 Sukuk 2 Ltd, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) issuer incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The proceeds of the issuance will be used by the Bank to support its additional Tier 1 capital position for the purposes of maintaining its capital adequacy ratios within guidelines laid out by the Central Bank of Kuwait.
