The five notes are scheduled to add roughly R2.9bn of nominal debt on issue on 22 October 2026, across maturities from 2030 to 2034. The coupons are what they are: 9.24% fixed on the 2030 tranche, 8.98% fixed on the 2032 tranche, and floating spreads of 95 to 120 basis points over the reference rate, widest on the longest-dated tranche.
