Reykjavik, Mar 19, 2008 - (ACN Newswire) - Glitnir successfully issued and sold an ISK 15bn ($200m) five year mandatory convertible bonds in a closed offering to Icelandic institutional investors, which commenced on 12 March ending yesterday. The bonds are subordinated and count as Tier 1 capital and strengthen the bank's capital ratio considerably. Glitnir Capital Markets was sole manager of the offering.

Glitnir CEO, Lárus Welding, was pleased with the successful issue.
