Nippon Steel Sets Terms for Dual Tranches of Zero-Coupon Convertible Bonds

The latest update is out from NIPPON STEEL ( (JP:5401) ).

Nippon Steel has set the final terms for two tranches of zero-coupon convertible bonds maturing in 2029 and 2031, each structured as bonds with stock acquisition rights that can be converted into shares at preset premiums to the current market price. The 2029 bonds carry a conversion price of ¥730.3, will redeem at 104.16% of principal at maturity, and use an annual rate of 1.40% to calculate early redemption amounts, implying a roughly 10% premium over the latest Tokyo closing price.

The 2031 bonds are priced with a conversion level of ¥737.0, a 104.01% redemption amount at maturity, an annual rate of 0.80% for early redemption calculations, and a 102.02% redemption level if holders exercise an optional early redemption right. By locking in low-cost, stock-linked funding with conversion premiums of about 10–11% to its share price, Nippon Steel is balancing equity and debt financing, potentially limiting immediate shareholder dilution while enhancing financial flexibility for future strategic needs.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5401) stock is a Hold with a Yen703.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NIPPON STEEL stock, see the JP:5401 Stock Forecast page.
