This is the bank's first offering on the stock market in several years, according to a press release on the bank's website. The offer generated a lot of interest and garnered orders worth $140.6 billion. The return is expected to yield 10.1 percent per year, according to the press release.

Six traders placed 16 orders at the special auction, which is the largest offer on the stock exchange so far this year, according to the press release.
