(Updates with details of transaction.)

By Emese Bartha

Poland is launching a dual-tranche euro bond transaction Thursday, selling a new 2027-dated issue, plus another tranche of its existing January 2036 bond, via a syndicate of banks, said one of the banks working on the transaction.

The final guidance for the 2027-dated bond is set at mid-swaps +55 basis points, down from the mid-swaps +60 basis points in the initial price talk, said one of the banks. The final guidance on the 2036-dated bond is mid-swaps +83/+85 basis points, down from mid-swaps +90/+95 basis points initially.

One of the lead managers said the deal size was likely to be 750 million euros ($797 million) to 1 billion euros for the 10-year bond and around EUR500 million for the longer-dated one.

Books closed in excess of EUR2.5 billion for the two bonds, with demand skewed toward the 10-year bond.

Lead managers of the transaction are Barclays, BNP Paribas, Commerzbank, ING and J.P. Morgan.
