Dubai—Dentons has advised Qatar International Islamic Bank (QPSC) on its tap issuance of US$250 million sustainable certificates due 2029 issued by QIIB Senior Oryx Ltd, a special purpose vehicle issuer incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The transaction was completed on 31 July 2024. Dentons also advised on the original 11 January 2024 US$500 million sustainable sukuk issuance under Qatar International Islamic Bank's US$2 billion trust certificate issuance programme.

The issuance was rated A by Fitch. The issuance was priced at 100 basis points over US Treasuries, with an annual yield of 5.138%.
