In Deals of the Year in the February 2005 issue of The Banker, Eksportfinans’ 4.375% $1bn global bond due 2009 was our Norwegian deal. Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Nomura Securities were joint-lead managers for the transaction but we failed to mention the latter two banks.
Also in the Belgium deal which was Belgacom’s E3.6bn IPO, due to a typographical error UBS, one of four banks mentioned, was wrongly described as USB.
In an article on Romania in the same issue, we said a minority stake of BCR is expected to be sold to employees in 2005. In fact, 8% is already owned by employees and no further sales of this type are expected.
We apologise for the errors.
