Caverion Corporation issues a EUR 75 million senior unsecured bond
Caverion Corporation (“Caverion” or the “Company”) issues new EUR 75 million senior unsecured fixed rate notes with maturity on 28 March 2023 (the “New Notes”). The four year New Notes carry a fixed annual interest rate of 3.250 per cent per annum, and have an issue price of 100 per cent. The proceeds from the New Notes will be used for partial redemption of the hybrid notes issued on 16 June 2017, for general corporate purposes, and investments in accordance with Caverion’s strategy, including acquisitions.
“I am very satisfied with the outcome of today’s transaction. The senior bond issue opens up a new instrument for Caverion in the capital markets and diversifies our funding base further. With the proceeds from the new issue we will partially redeem our hybrid notes and proactively manage our debt portfolio. This transaction supports our “Fit for Growth” strategy and moving us from the Fit phase towards the Growth phase,” says Martti Ala-Härkönen, Chief Financial Officer of Caverion. The New Notes were well received in the market and substantially oversubscribed.
Caverion will apply for the listing of the New Notes on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. The settlement date of the New Notes is on 28 March 2019.
Nordea Bank Abp and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) act as Joint Lead Managers for the issuance of New Notes. Castrén & Snellman Attorneys Ltd acts as legal advisor to Caverion Corporation and Joint Lead Managers.
