Originally launched at $300 million, the facility was upsized to $500 million via a Greenshoe Option following significant investor demand, with the transaction oversubscribed by more than 200%.
This strong response underscores the confidence of global financial institutions in MB’s credit quality and its commitment to environmental sustainability.
A total of 22 leading financial institutions from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East participated in the syndication, with a majority being first-time lenders to MB, reflecting deep market trust and broadening the bank’s international banking relationships. Due to the significant oversubscription, lender commitments were scaled back proportionately.
Proceeds from the facility will be allocated to eligible green projects in line with the Green Loan Principles and MB’s Green Loan Framework, further advancing the bank’s sustainability agenda and supporting Vietnam’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
