FIVEN ASA: Successful placement of new sustainability-linked senior secured bond
Fiven ASA (“Fiven” or the “Company”) announces today that the Company has successfully placed a sustainability-linked senior secured bond loan in an initial amount of EUR 70 million within a total framework of EUR 125 million. The bond has a tenor of three years and carries interest at an annual rate of 3 months EURIBOR plus 685 basis points. Fiven intends to apply for listing of the bond on the Corporate Bond List of Nasdaq Stockholm. The bond issue saw strong demand from primarily Nordic and international institutional investors and was significantly oversubscribed.
The placement constitutes the first EUR-denominated sustainability-linked bond by a sponsor-backed issuer in the Nordic bond market and illustrates Fiven’s strong commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its operations. Net proceeds from the bond issue will be used to repay the Company's outstanding bond loan, finance a shareholder distribution and for general corporate purposes.
