Nan Fung Group Issues First Sustainability Bond Under Updated Sustainable Finance Framework

(25 June, 2026 – Hong Kong) – Nan Fung Group (“Nan Fung” or the “Group”) is proud to announce the successful issuance of its inaugural 10-year USD 500 million sustainability bond under its updated Sustainable Finance Framework (the “Framework”). This marks a major milestone in the Group’s sustainable finance journey, reinforcing its commitment to integrating environmental and social considerations into its financing strategy.

The transaction was met with overwhelming demand from international institutional investors, with the orderbook exceeding USD 3.7 billion and oversubscribed by 7 times at its peak, ultimately closing above USD 3.2 billion and oversubscribed by 6 times. This exceptional market response allowed the bond to price at a spread of 142 basis points over U.S. Treasuries, representing a tightening of 33 basis points from its initial price guidance. The pricing tightening strongly underscores the robust investor demand and deep market confidence in Nan Fung’s credit profile.

Building on the Group’s original Sustainable Finance Framework, first published in December 2021, the updated Framework reflects the continued evolution of the Group’s sustainability strategy and provides enhanced criteria and guidelines for future Sustainable Finance Transactions (“SFTs”).

Net proceeds raised from SFTs will be used exclusively to finance or re-finance the “Eligible Green Projects” or “Eligible Social Projects” under the Framework, including green buildings, energy efficiency, renewable energy, employment generation and programmes, and socioeconomic advancement and empowerment. Information on the allocation of net proceeds will be updated annually and made available on the Nan Fung corporate website.

The Framework obtained an independent Second Party Opinion from Moody’s, confirming its alignment with the Green Bond Principles 2025, Social Bond Principles 2025, Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2021, Green Loan Principles 2025, and Social Loan Principles 2025.
Nelson Tang, Group Chief Financial Officer of Nan Fung Group, said, “At Nan Fung, we see sustainable finance as an important enabler of long-term value creation. The successful issuance of our inaugural sustainability bond reflects our commitment to supporting both business resilience and positive impact for the communities we serve”.
