6.5 years maturity, coupon of 3.85%
Albioma announces the private placement of an €80 million "Euro PP" bond maturing in December 2020. The issue carries an annual coupon of 3.85%.
This transaction will enable Albioma to roll over existing corporate debts that fall due in February 2015 on very favorable terms, to lengthen significantly the maturity on this debt, and to diversify the Company's sources of funding in support of its ambitious growth strategy for the coming years.
The bonds are destined for a European institutional investor base. The settlement/delivery date is set for June 6, 2014. A request will be made for the bonds to be admitted for trading on the NYSE Euronext Paris exchange.
The prospectus, which carries visa no. 14-267 issued on June 3 by the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des Marchés Financiers), is available on the websites of Albioma (www.albioma.com) and the Autorité des Marchés (www.amf-france.org).
At the same time, Albioma has renewed its short-term bank credit lines in the form of a €40 million revolving credit facility.
CM-CIC Securities and Natixis are the arrangers for this transaction, while Rothschild was advisor to the Albioma group.
Next on the agenda: release (post-trading) of results for the first half of the 2014 financial year, on July 22, 2014
