EUR650 MILLION US PRIVATE PLACEMENT DEBT ISSUE
SEGRO plc ("SEGRO" or "the Company") has signed an agreement
with 13 US institutional investors for a private placement of
EUR650 million 10 year, 12 year and 15 year senior unsecured
notes.
The issue consists of three tranches: EUR400 million at a fixed
coupon of 1.77 per cent due 2027, EUR150 million at a fixed coupon
of 2.00 per cent due 2029, and EUR100 million at a fixed coupon of
2.27 per cent due 2032. This translates to a weighted average
coupon of 1.90 per cent and a weighted average maturity of 11.2
years.
The proceeds will be used to refinance the 2018 sterling bonds
and secured debt within the Airport Property Partnership. Closing
and funding of the transaction will occur in August 2017. The new
issue will rank pari passu with SEGRO's existing unsecured bank and
bond debt.
Soumen Das, Chief Financial Officer of SEGRO, commented: "The
support we have received from our investors for our inaugural, and
well over-subscribed, US private placement debt issue is a further
endorsement of the strategy we are pursuing at SEGRO. It will
increase SEGRO's weighted average debt maturity to 8 years and,
once drawn, will improve the Company's overall cost of debt. In
addition, it broadens the range of SEGRO's debt providers and
creates a greater natural currency hedge for our euro-denominated
assets."
Lloyds Securities Inc and Barclays Bank PLC acted as Joint
Placement Agents.
