ICICI Bank plans to raise 100 m Swiss francs via bond sale

The country?s second largest lender, ICICI Bank, is aiming to raise at least 100 million Swiss francs (approximately $107 million) through a seven-year bond sale, a source close to the deal said.

The bond has a fixed coupon of 2.75% and has been rated ?Baa2? by Moody?s and ?BBB-? by Standard & Poor?s, the source said.

Deutsche Bank is the sole bookrunner for the issue expected to close at the end of Tuesday. This is also the first Swiss Francs denominated bond issue by an Indian company in FY2013.
