REGULATORY RELEASE
KLÉPIERRE PLACES
€600 MILLION 11-YEAR BOND
AT A 0.625% COUPON
Paris – 24 June 2019
Klépierre, the pan-European leader in shopping malls, announces that it successfully placed today a €600-million bond maturing on 1 July 2030 with a 0.625% coupon. The bond was priced at 45 basis points above the swap rate, which corresponds to a negative new issue premium([1]) and is the tightest spread ever for a European REIT for an 11-year maturity.
Subscribed 2.8 times, the notes were placed with high-quality, long-term global investors, notably from France, Germany, Japan and the UK.
The net proceeds will be used to reimburse debt falling due in 2019 and 2020.
This new bond issue supports Klépierre’s financing strategy, which aims to secure high liquidity position, and reduce financing costs while extending the average maturity of its debt.
BNP Paribas, Natixis (B&D), NatWest Market, Santander, Société Générale and SMBC Nikko acted as joint bookrunners for the new issue.
