On 5 March 2024, KBC Group NV will call the Additional Tier-1 (AT1) Securities (ISIN:BE0002638196) it issued in 2019. The European Central Bank (ECB) has granted KBC permission to call this instrument, which has a nominal value of 500 million euros, and at the same time to call the subordinated inter-company loan of the same amount that KBC Group NV granted to KBC Bank NV.
