Pinheiro Neto Advogados, Clifford Chance LLP and Appleby Global have helped Brazil′s Banco Bradesco make two bond issuances for an aggregate US$1.35 billion.
The international bonds were launched, priced and issued on 16 May, with Machado, Meyer, Sendacz e Opice Advogados and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP advising the dealers, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Bradesco.
"The transaction was completed on an extremely quick timetable, with launch taking place three days after kick-off and pricing on the same day as launch," says Clifford Chance partner Anja Pfleger. "There was a lot of hard work in a short period of time and the success of the deal is a testament to the entire working group."
"The transaction involved a fixed rate series and a floating rate series to meet investor demand," she adds.
The same firms have worked on other issuances by Bradesco, the latest one in January. Prior to that all of the firms except Appleby worked on a US$1.1 billion bond sale that took place in August.
