Bonds and Instruments

The following overview provides you with the most important information about the major bonds issued by our company. All bonds issued by Deutsche Post Finance B.V. are fully guaranteed by Deutsche Post AG.

In March 2012, we established a Debt Issuance Programme with a volume of up to €3 billion. This offers us the possibility of issuing bonds in customised tranches up to a stipulated total amount and enables us to react flexibly to changing market conditions. In June 2012, we took advantage of favourable market conditions and issued two bonds under the programme in a total amount of €1,25 billion. The bonds mature on June 27, 2017 and 2022, respectively. On December 3, 2012, we increased the volume of the programme to up to €5 billion and issued two further bonds as part of the debt-financed pension funding on December 11, 2012 Deutsche Post DHL issues three bonds worth a total of €2.0 billion. For further details about the different bonds please refer to the table above.

In January 2008, we launched a commercial paper programme with a volume of up to €1 billion, enabling short-term financing and complementing bilateral credit lines. The lasting fundamental need for financial resources will, however, continue to be met by long-term financing tools.
