Airline company Deutsche Lufthansa (LHA.F) tasked banks to arrange investor calls ahead of a potential euro-denominated bond sale, Bloomberg News reported Monday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The proceeds from the 5.7-year senior unsecured bonds will be used for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of existing debt, according to the report. The bonds are expected to be sold later this week.

BNP Paribas, Citigroup, ING, Bank of China, DZ Bank, Erste Group, and LBBW are serving as the joint bookrunners for the offering.

In an emailed statement to MT Newswires, a Lufthansa spokesperson confirmed that the company placed a bond on the capital market on Tuesday, but did not elaborate further.
