SPIE successfully places a EUR 600 million bond
Cergy, June 11th, 2019 - SPIE, the European leader in multi-technical services
in the areas of energy and communications, has announced today that it has
successfully placed a EUR600 million bond issue with a 7-year maturity and an
annual coupon of 2.625%. The proceeds will be used to refinance half of the
Group's existing senior credit facility, thus extending the average maturity of
its debt.
This operation allows SPIE to take advantage of the current supportive market
conditions and will enhance the Group's debt structure by extending its average
maturity and increasing its fixed-rate component, while further diversifying
its sources of funding.
The issue was largely oversubscribed, reflecting institutional investors'
confidence in SPIE's credit quality, rated BB by Standard & Poor's and Ba3 by
Moody's.
The joint bookrunners of this transaction were BNP Paribas, Natixis and
Société Générale (acting together as Global Coordinators), Crédit Agricole
CIB, Commerzbank, HSBC and ING.
