Australia's ANZ plans to sell Samurai bonds

TOKYO, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ANZ.AX) plans to sell Samurai bonds in three tranches, documents filed at Japanese financial authorities showed on Tuesday.

ANZ's bonds are expected to be three- and five-year fixed-rate bonds and a five-year floating-rate bond, the documents showed.

Daiwa Securities SMBC, Nikko Citigroup and Nomura Securities are lead managing the deal.

The bonds are expected to be offered and issued later this month, according to the documents.

Samurai bonds are yen bonds sold in Japan by foreign borrowers.

ANZ's planned Samurai bond issue would be its second this year, following the sale of 135.8 billion yen ($1.3 billion) in March. (Reporting by Rika Otsuka)
