Gecina successfully places a 500 million euro bond issue at 1.0% and opens an offer to redeem three outstanding bond issues
Gecina has today successfully placed a 500 million euro bond issue, maturing in January 2029 (maturity of 12.3 years) with a coupon of 1.0%.
The coupon for this latest issue is the lowest ever achieved for a bond issue by Gecina, combined with the highest ever maturity for the Group. This bond issue was more than 2 times oversubscribed by a top-tier base of pan-European investors, confirming the market's confidence in Gecina's credit rating, in a positive market environment.
CM-CIC, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JP Morgan, Mediobanca and Société Générale were the bookrunners for this issue.
Alongside this, Gecina is opening a redemption offer, which will close on October 3, 2016, for three outstanding public bond issues:
- A 650 million euro bond issue maturing in January 2019, with a 4.75% coupon
- A 500 million euro bond issue maturing in July 2021, with a 1.75% coupon
- A 300 million euro bond issue maturing in May 2023, with a 2.875% coupon
