PRESS RELEASE
Neuilly-sur-Seine, 21 September 2020
FFP successfully launches its first US private bond issue (US PP)
FFP announces today that it has successfully launched its first US private
placement ("US PP"), for a total of EUR150m with a 10-year maturity (September
2030) and a 2.600% fixed annual rate.
This US PP, placed with a single high-quality institutional American investor,
Barings, will enable FFP to significantly extend the average maturity of its
debt and diversify its sources of financing. The proceeds will be used to
pursue FFP's investment strategy.
Bertrand Finet, CEO of FFP, declared : "We seized an attractive opportunity in
the current context. This new financing, aligned with the average holding
period of our assets, will enable us to strengthen our liquidity and consider
new investments, while maintaining a measured level of debt. "
FFP was advised in this transaction by Degroof Petercam and White & Case.
