Elis successfully priced a tap issue of €200 million Senior Notes due 2028
Saint-Cloud, September 13, 2021 – Elis (the “Company”) announces that it has successfully priced today a €200 million tap issuance of 1.625% notes due 2028 (the “New Notes”) under its EMTN Programme (Euro Medium Term Notes), which will be assimilated and form a single series with the existing €350,000,000 1.625% Notes due 2028 issued on 3 October 2019.
Elis priced the New Notes at 100.125% of par, which is equivalent to a yield of 1.60% for a c.6.5 years maturity. These excellent financial terms, among the lowest levels ever priced by the Company on the bond markets, demonstrates the confidence of the market in the Elis’ business model resilience and ability to fully benefit from the recovery after the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic crisis.
The proceeds of the New Notes will be dedicated to the partial tender offer on the €650 million 1.875% Notes due 2023 issued in February 2018 and will allow, as part of the Group’s active refinancing strategy, to extend the average maturity of the Company indebtedness.
The placement of the bonds was carried out by a syndicate of four banks: BBVA, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank and Natixis.
