CapMan Plc ("CapMan" or the "Company") issues unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 50 million (the "Notes"). The Notes will mature on 9 December 2025 and carry a fixed annual interest of 4.000 per cent. The issue date for the Notes will be 9 December 2020.

”We are pleased with the investor demand towards the new notes, which support CapMan’s growth and improve our position to meet our fund commitments. The new notes issue extends the average maturity profile of our loan portfolio and contributes to its effective management,” says Niko Haavisto, CapMan’s CFO.

CapMan will submit an application for the Notes to be admitted to trading on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. The proceeds of the offering will be used, on or about the issue date or shortly thereafter, to refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Company, including funding the purchase of a part of the Company's existing notes by way of a tender offer.
