NRUC Pricing Supplement: $1 MM Series D Notes at 4.20% Coupon

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (NRUC) filed a Rule 424(b)(3) pricing supplement for a $1.0 million tranche of its Medium-Term Notes, Series D. Key terms are as follows:

• Principal amount: $1,000,000, issued at 100% of par
• Coupon: 4.20% fixed, paid semi-annually on January 15 and July 15
• Maturity: January 15, 2027 (approximately 1.5-year tenor)
• Record dates: January 1 and July 1
• Form: Certificated (not book-entry)
• Redemption: none (bullet maturity)
• Agents’ commission: none disclosed

The filing reiterates that Series D notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; this pricing supplement covers only the specific tranche above. Hogan Lovells US LLP provided a customary valid and binding obligations legal opinion, subject to standard bankruptcy, insolvency and equitable-principles carve-outs under District of Columbia and New York law.

Given the modest size and routine nature of the issuance, the filing appears to be an incremental funding action rather than a transformative capital event.

Positive

• Cost-efficient issuance: 100% of par with no agents’ commission lowers all-in funding cost.
• Fixed 4.20% rate secures predictable interest expense through January 2027.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Fixed-Income Analyst

TL;DR – Routine $1 M note issuance at 4.20% with 18-month tenor; minimal balance-sheet impact.

This pricing supplement details a small, short-dated, fixed-rate note. The 4.20% coupon is broadly consistent with current high-grade short-term yields. Absence of an issuance discount or agent fee suggests cost-efficient funding. Because Series D has unlimited authorization, the company can replicate this process quickly in the future. However, at only $1 million, this tranche is immaterial relative to most corporate debt programs and should not meaningfully affect leverage, liquidity, or coverage ratios. No call option limits flexibility, but the short maturity mitigates duration risk. Overall, a standard execution with neutral credit implications.
