ANZ (AA/Aa1) completed its first Samurai deal of 2010 – the second from an Australian issuer – on February 3, pricing a total of ¥60.3 billion (US$666.67 million) in a five-year, predominantly fixed-rate offering. Pricing on the transaction came in the middle of the indicative range given by the issuer, and was exactly in line with the levels achieved by Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac) (AA/Aa1/AA-) in the equivalent tranches of its January 15 Samurai.
