Gecina Successfully Places a 500 Million Euro 7-Year Bond Issue with a 1.75% Coupon
Regulatory News:
Gecina (Paris:GFC) has today successfully placed a 500 million euro 7-year bond issue, maturing on July 30, 2021. This issue is based on a 92 bp spread over the mid-swap rate and a 1.75% coupon, representing the lowest coupon and spread to date for a bond issue by Gecina.
This issue once again confirms Gecina's outstanding access to all sources of financing. With its low coupon, it will contribute towards bringing down the average cost of debt.
At over 2.5 billion euros, demand among investors was very strong for this issue, which was more than 5 times oversubscribed, with a large pan-European base, highlighting the market's confidence in Gecina's credit rating.
The funds from this issue will further strengthen the Group's liquidity position looking ahead to the redemption of the bond issue maturing in September, while optimizing the financial structure and financing the future investments. This operation is also fully in line with the linearization of the schedule for the Group's financing facilities in general, and for bond issues in particular (maturities in 2014, 2016, 2019, 2021 and 2023).
Gecina is rated BBB / Positive outlook by Standard & Poor’s and Baa2/ Stable outlook by Moody’s.
BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole CIB, Crédit Mutuel-CIC, HSBC, Natixis and Société Générale CIB were joint book runners for this operation.
The base prospectus, approved by the French securities regulator (AMF) on March 14, 2014 under number 14-081, and its first supplement, with approval number 14-430 from July 22, 2014, are available on request.
