We advised the underwriters in connection with the global notes offering

Davis Polk advised the underwriters on an SEC-registered offering on Schedule B by Oesterreichische Kontrollbank Aktiengesellschaft of its $1.5 billion 0.500% guaranteed global notes due 2026. The notes are guaranteed by the Republic of Austria.

OeKB is primarily engaged in export financing. It administrates the Republic of Austria’s guarantees covering commercial, political and foreign exchange risks in connection with Austrian exports and also provides medium- and long-term financing to banks and foreign importers for Austrian export transactions.

The Davis Polk corporate team included partner Leo Borchardt and associates Christopher Diel and Saratu M. Kitchener. European counsel John Taylor provided U.K. and European Union law advice. All members of the Davis Polk team are based in the London office.
