La Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) è una banca di sviluppo multilaterale che finanzia progetti ambientali e infrastrutturali nei suoi paesi membri (Danimarca, Estonia, Finlandia, Islanda, Lettonia, Lituania, Norvegia e Svezia), nonché in altri paesi europei.

L'analisi di un'obbligazione specifica, ora giunta a maturazione e rimborsata, offre uno spaccato interessante sulle dinamiche del debito istituzionale; l'emittente di questo strumento finanziario era la Nordic Investment Bank (NIB), un'istituzione finanziaria internazionale multilaterale di proprietà degli otto paesi nordici e baltici, con sede in Finlandia, la cui missione è finanziare progetti che migliorano la produttività e la sostenibilità ambientale nella regione nordica e baltica, operando con un solido rating di credito grazie al supporto dei suoi paesi membri, il che la rende un emittente di rilievo nel mercato obbligazionario. Questa particolare obbligazione, identificata dal codice ISIN US65562QBB05 e dal codice CUSIP 65562QBB0, era denominata in Dollari Statunitensi (USD) e rappresentava un'emissione di notevole entità, con una dimensione totale di 500.000.000 USD; la sua caratteristica distintiva risiedeva nell'essere un'obbligazione zero-coupon, come evidenziato dal tasso d'interesse pari a 0%, il che implicava l'assenza di pagamenti periodici di cedole. Originariamente emessa con un lotto minimo di acquisto di 200.000 USD, l'obbligazione ha raggiunto la sua scadenza il 25 aprile 2018 ed è stata rimborsata al 100% del suo valore nominale sul mercato, confermando il completamento del suo ciclo di vita finanziario; nonostante la frequenza di pagamento fosse indicata con il valore 2, questa indicazione era di fatto non applicabile per le distribuzioni periodiche di interessi, data la natura zero-coupon del titolo, che prevedeva un unico flusso di cassa alla scadenza.

GENERAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE
LUXEMBOURG STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING
NIB has obtained all necessary consents, approvals and authorizations in connection with the
issuance and performance of the Notes. Resolutions of the Board of Directors of NIB, dated
December 14, 2006, December 16, 2010, December 11, 2014 and December 10, 2015, authorized the
issuance of the Notes and related matters.
NIB has applied to list the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in accordance with the
rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange pursuant to the Luxembourg Prospectus Act. Copies of the
2004 Agreement and all reports prepared and filed are available at the office of BNP Paribas Securities
Services, Luxembourg Branch, the listing agent in Luxembourg.
So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange,
copies (and English translations for documents not in English) of the following items will be available
free of charge from NIB's listing agent at its offices at 60 avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg,
Luxembourg:
·
all incorporated documents that are considered part of this pricing supplement;
·
the audited annual financial statements of NIB;
·
future annual financial reports of NIB; and
·
any related notes to these items.
During the same period, the Fiscal Agency Agreement will be available for inspection at the
office of BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch in Luxembourg. NIB will, until the
repayment of the Notes, maintain a paying agent in Luxembourg, which initially will be BNP Paribas
Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch. Payments on book-entry Notes that clear through Euroclear
and Clearstream, Luxembourg may be effected through the Luxembourg paying agent. BNP Paribas
Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch will also serve as transfer agent in Luxembourg.
If any payment on a Note presented for payment in Luxembourg is due on a day on which
banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulations to be closed in Luxembourg, such
payment will be made on the next Luxembourg Business Day (a day, other than Saturday or Sunday,
which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulations to be
P-8

closed in Luxembourg). This payment will be treated as if it were made on the due date, and no
additional interest will accrue as a result of this delay.
Notices to holders of the Notes will be made by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered
holders. Notices concerning the Notes will also be made by publication in a leading newspaper having
general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or by publication on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's website (www.bourse.lu). In particular, notices relating to any
redemption permitted under the terms of the Notes and relating to interest rates will be notified to the
Luxembourg paying agent and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Any notice will be deemed to have
been given on the date of publication or, if published more than once, on the date of first publication.
NIB is not involved in any litigation or arbitration proceedings relating to claims or amounts
which are material in the context of the issuance of the Notes nor, so far as NIB is aware, is any such
litigation or arbitration pending or threatened. Except as disclosed in this pricing supplement, the
prospectus supplement and the prospectus and the documents considered part of them, there has been no
material adverse change in the financial position or prospects of NIB since December 31, 2015.
