Regulatory News:

Europcar Groupe S.A. (Paris:EUCAR) today announced the success of its offering of €125 million of additional Senior Notes. The improved conditions at 4.5140 % yield to worst or 4.8790 % yield to maturity reflect the enhanced credit profile of the Group and investors’ appetite in the company’s prospects. The Notes will be fungible¹ with the existing €475 million 5.750% Senior Notes due 2022 issued in June 2015, increasing the total principal amount of this bond to €600 million. The proceeds of the additional notes amount to €131 million.

Europcar intends to use the net proceeds of the additional Senior Notes primarily to fund its acquisition program, as well as for its general corporate purposes.

"To support our dynamic acquisition plan, we took the opportunity to tap our corporate bond at very favorable conditions. We are now enjoying appropriate financings to create more value in the coming weeks, months and beyond by pursuing the progressive deployment of our plan targeting bolt-ons, franchisees and new mobility services”, explains Caroline Parot, CEO Finance.
