CLOSING OF THE BOND TENDER OFFER
Paris - November 4, 2014
On November 3, 2014, Klépierre closed the tender offer on two of its short-dated bonds launched on October 28, 2014. The nominal amount tendered stands at 348 million euros of which 163 million euros for the bond maturing March 2016 (coupon: 4.25%) and 185 million euros for the bond maturing April 2017 (coupon: 4.0%).
As a reminder, this transaction was launched together with the placement of a 10-year 500 million euro bond maturing November 6, 2024. This bond was priced at a 72 bps margin above the swap rate which translated into a coupon of 1.75%.
These transactions contribute to the improvement of the Group's debt profile while reducing its cost.
