Scorpio originally offered to sell 300 million shekels in bonds at a minimum interest rate of 6.25% and a maximum of 6.75%. As demand for the bonds reached 1 billion shekels, the company increased the sale to 500 million shekels. The entire amount was sold at the minimum interest rate, Poalim IBI said.
