Cleary Gottlieb represented the United Mexican States in a dollar-denominated registered bond offering for an aggregate $3,150,415,000 of 10-year 4.150 percent global bonds due 2027.
The offering launched on March 16, 2017, and closed on March 28, 2017. Concurrent with the launch of the bond offering, Mexico also launched an offer to purchase for cash certain series of outstanding bonds, which launched and expired on March 16, 2017.
