Autralia-based Bendigo Bank has close a $50 million three-year trade off its $500 million Euro-MTN programme. The trade will be issued on June 8 and will mature in June 2004. The non-syndicated note pays interest quarterly and is the first trade to be issued under the programme since Bendigo Bank overhauled the dealer panel on May 16. ABN Amro, HSBC and UBS Warburg were dropped as dealers. Nomura and Westdeutsche Landesbank replace them, while Deutsche Bank keeps its place as an appointed dealer. Previous to the programme update Bendigo Bank issued two public deals for $100 million each off the programme with Deutsche Bank as lead manager off both deals.
