FBN Holdings Plc‘s largest subsidiary, First Bank of Nigeria Limited, has disclosed its intended early redemption of the fixed-rate $450 million subordinated note held by FBN Finance Company B.V.

According to the statement, FBN Finance Company B.V. will exercise its option to call the $450 million subordinated notes which were raised mainly from the international debt markets.
