Edenred successfully issues EUR600 million in bonds

Edenred today announced the success of its EUR600 million 9-year bond issue.
The bonds will mature on June 18, 2029 and pay a coupon of 1.375%.

The bond issue will enable the Group to strengthen its financial resources and
extend the average maturity of its debt under favorable conditions. Edenred
will allocate the net proceeds from the issue to general corporate purposes, as
well as to refinancing EUR250 million in bonds with a coupon of 2.625% maturing
in late October 2020.

Placed with a diverse base of international institutional investors, the bond
issue was more than 2 times oversubscribed, with total demand exceeding EUR1.2
billion.

The success of the transaction reflects the market's confidence in the Group's
credit quality, following on from the renewal of its "Strong Investment Grade"
(BBB+A-2 Outlook stable) credit rating by Standard & Poor's in May.

Patrick Bataillard, Executive Vice President, Finance, said: "Through the
amount raised, the time to maturity and the conditions obtained, the success of
this bond issue once again demonstrates the confidence investors place in the
strength of Edenred's model and outlook. The transaction is part of our policy
of actively managing our financial resources, aimed at securing our financing
options over the long term while optimizing our cost of debt and giving us all
the flexibility needed to pursue our Next Frontier strategic plan."

Barclays, Crédit Agricole CIB and Société Générale CIB served as global
coordinators and joint active bookrunners. BNP Paribas, Citi, Commerzbank, HSBC
and J.P. Morgan also acted as joint active bookrunners.
