Fitch rates HNB's subordinated debt final 'A+(lka)

Fitch Ratings has assigned Hatton National Bank PLC's proposed subordinated debentures of up to Rs 7 bn a final National Long-Term Rating of 'A+(lka)'.

The assignment of the final rating follows the receipt of documents conforming to information already received, and the final rating is the same as the expected rating assigned for the subordinated debt on September 4, 2015. The issue will have a tenor of five years with fixed coupon payments. HNB expects to use the proceeds to reduce asset and liability maturity mismatches while improving its Tier 2 capital base.
