Key Terms

senior unsecured bond, tap issue, reverse inquiry, joint bookrunners
4 terms
senior unsecured bond financial
"its outstanding senior unsecured bond due November 7, 2030 (ISIN: NO0013685115)"
A senior unsecured bond is a loan-like IOU a company issues that ranks high in the repayment order but is not backed by specific assets as collateral. In a bankruptcy or restructuring it gets paid before lower-priority creditors but after any secured debt, so investors accept a bit more risk than with secured bonds in exchange for generally higher interest; its ranking affects how likely and how quickly investors recover money if things go wrong.
tap issue financial
"it has successfully completed a USD 30 million tap issue of its outstanding"
A tap issue is when a company or government adds more securities — shares or bonds — to an earlier offering using the same terms and documentation instead of launching a brand‑new sale. It matters to investors because the extra supply can push prices down or dilute existing ownership for equity holders, while also revealing the issuer’s funding needs or market demand; imagine tapping more beer from the same keg rather than opening a new one.
reverse inquiry financial
"The tap issue was priced at 102.75% of par and was initiated by a reverse inquiry."
A reverse inquiry is when investors initiate a request to a company or bank asking for a custom deal—such as a bond, share offering, or structured product—tailored to the investor’s needs, rather than waiting for the issuer to advertise one. It matters to investors because it can secure better pricing or terms, reveal genuine demand, and speed up transactions, like asking a tailor to make a suit that fits your exact measurements instead of buying off the rack.
joint bookrunners financial
"Arctic Securities and Fearnley Securities acted as joint bookrunners"
Joint bookrunners are the lead banks or brokers who share responsibility for organizing and selling a new offering of securities, like shares or bonds. Think of them as co-hosts of a big sale who coordinate pricing, gather investor interest (the “order book”), and split the work and risk—investors watch who the joint bookrunners are because their reputation and effort influence how smoothly the deal is priced, how widely it’s distributed, and how likely it is to succeed.
