NEXITY LAUNCHES AN ISSUANCE OF BONDS
CONVERTIBLE INTO NEW SHARES AND/OR EXCHANGEABLE FOR EXISTING SHARES
(OCEANES) DUE 2028 FOR UP TO APPROXIMATELY
€270M AND A CONCURRENT REPURCHASE
OFFER WITH RESPECT TO THE OUTSTANDING OCEANES DUE 2023 ISSUED IN
MAY 2016 BY WAY OF A REVERSE BOOKBUILDING PROCESS
Paris, 13th April 2021
Offering of bonds convertible into new
shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares due April 19th, 2028
(the “2028 OCEANEs” or the “Bonds”) (subject to the condition
precedent of the Company receiving indications of interest in the
concurrent Repurchase (as defined below) from holders of the 2023
OCEANEs (as defined below) for at least 60% of the number of 2023
OCEANEs (as defined below) initially issued).
Nexity (the “Company” or
“Nexity”) announces today the launch of an
offering of 2028 OCEANEs for a base nominal amount of approximately
€240m. The Company has an additional allocation option to increase
the size of the offering up to €270m.
The issuance net proceeds of this offering will
be used to extend the maturity of Nexity’s indebtedness by
financing the repurchase of part or all of the outstanding €270m
OCEANEs due 2023 issued on May 13th 2016 (the “2023
OCEANEs”) tendered by their holders during the repurchase
proposal (as detailed further below) and, as the case may be, to
address the general financing needs of the Company.
The nominal unit value per 2028 OCEANE will be
set at a premium between 40% and 45% above Nexity’s reference share
price1 on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris
(”Euronext Paris”).
The 2028 OCEANEs will be issued at par and will
bear interest at an annual rate comprised between 0.375% and
0.875%, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 19th and October
19thof each year (or on the following business day if such date is
not a business day) and for the first time on October 19th,
2021.
The final terms of the 2028 OCEANEs are expected
to be determined following the completion of the bookbuilding
process later today and the settlement and delivery of the 2028
OCEANES is expected to take place on April 19th, 2021 (the
“Issue Date”).
Dilution
For illustrative purposes, based on a 270
million euros nominal amount and a par value of 61.656 euros per
2028 OCEANEs, the dilution would approximately represent 7.80% of
the outstanding share capital if the Company decided to deliver
only new shares.
Redemption
Unless previously converted and/or exchanged,
redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, the 2028 OCEANEs will be
redeemed at par on April 19th, 2028 (or on the following
business day if this date is not a business day) (the
“Maturity Date”).
The 2028 OCEANEs may be redeemed before the
Maturity Date at the option of Nexity, under certain conditions,
and at the option of bondholders in case of Change of Control or in
case of Delisting (as defined in the terms and conditions of the
Bonds).
In particular, the Bonds may be fully redeemed
at Nexity’s option at any time from May 12th, 2025 until the
Maturity Date, subject to a minimum 30 (but no more than 60) days’
prior notice, if the arithmetic average of the products of Nexity’s
share volume-weighted average price on Euronext Paris and the
prevailing conversion ratio (calculated over a period of 20
consecutive trading days chosen by the Company from among the 30
consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day
immediately preceding the day of the publication of the early
redemption notice) exceeds 130% of the nominal value of the
Bonds.
The Bonds may also be fully redeemed at any
time, subject to a minimum 30 (and a maximum 60) days’ prior
notice, if 85% or more in principal amount of the Bonds originally
issued have been converted/exchanged and/or redeemed and/or
purchased by Nexity and cancelled.
Lock-up
In the context of the 2028 OCEANEs offering, the
Company will agree to a lock-up undertaking for a period starting
from the announcement of the final terms of the 2028 OCEANEs and
ending 90 calendar days after the settlement and delivery date of
the 2028 OCEANEs, subject to certain customary exceptions.
Legal framework
An application will be made for the admission of
the 2028 OCEANEs to trading on the non-regulated open market of
Euronext Paris (Euronext AccessTM), the non-regulated market of
Euronext Paris. Such listing is expected within 30 days from the
settlement date.
The Bonds, which will be issued as per the 28th
resolution approved by the shareholders’ ordinary and extraordinary
general meeting held on May 19th, 2020 and will be offered by way
of a placement, in France and outside France (excluding the United
States of America, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Japan) to
qualified investors only as defined in article 2(e) of Regulation
(EU) 2017/1129 in accordance with Article L.411-2 1° of the French
Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier). As per
the 29th resolution approved at the same shareholders' meeting, the
Company has the option to increase the amount of the issue by
fifteen per cent (15%) of the nominal amount of the Bonds within a
maximum amount of 300 million euros.

the 2028 OCEANEs, Nexity launches today the repurchase of the 2023

amount, i.e. €269,999,943.80 corresponding to 4,199,066 2023
OCEANEs.
Repurchase Price
In order to repurchase the 2023 OCEANEs, the
Company will conduct today, via the Joint Dealer Managers, a
reverse bookbuilding process (the “Repurchase”) to
collect indications of interest to sell 2023 OCEANEs on the basis
of a price (including accrued interest) per 2023 OCEANE between EUR
66.60 and EUR 66.90.
Transaction Conditions
The Repurchase is targeted at holders of the
2023 OCEANEs that are eligible in their respective jurisdictions,
in particular that are not persons located or resident in the
United States or persons acting for the account or benefit of such
persons willing to sell their 2023 OCEANEs to Nexity.
The settlement and delivery of the Repurchase is
expected to occur on April 20th, 2021, subject to the

OCEANEs on April 19th, 2021 and subject to the following
paragraph.

with the Repurchase and the issuance of the 2028 OCEANEs if
indications of interests received from holders of the 2023 OCEANEs
pursuant to this process represent less than 60% of the number of
2023 OCEANEs initially issued.
The 2023 OCEANEs repurchased by the Company will be cancelled in
accordance with their terms and conditions and in accordance with
the law.
The bookbuilding process of the 2028 OCEANEs and
the reverse bookbuilding process of the 2023 OCEANEs are
independent one from the other. The allocation of the 2028 OCEANEs
is not contingent upon the indications of interest to sell
expressed by the holders of the 2023 OCEANEs in the reverse
bookbuilding process.
The Company also reserves the right, after completion of
Repurchase, to exercise its right to redeem, at its option, the
2023 OCEANEs in accordance with their terms and conditions.

required. No action has been or will be taken in any country in
which such registration or approval would be required. The issuance
or the subscription of the Bonds may be subject to legal and
regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions; none of Nexity
and the Joint Bookrunners assumes any liability in connection with
the breach by any person of such restrictions.
This press release is an advertisement and not a

2018 (the “UK Prospectus Regulation”).
This press release is not an offer to the
public, an offer to subscribe or designed to solicit interest for
purposes of an offer to the public other than to qualified
investors in any jurisdiction, including France.
The Bonds will be offered only by way of a
placement in France and outside France (excluding the United States
of America, Australia, Canada, South Africa and Japan), solely to
qualified investors as defined in point (e) of article 2 of the
Prospectus Regulation and article 2 of the UK Prospectus Regulation
and there will be no public offering in any country (including
France) in connection with the Bonds, other than to qualified
investors. This press release does not constitute a recommendation
concerning the issue of the Bonds. The value of the Bonds and the
shares can decrease as well as increase. Potential investors should
consult a professional adviser as to the suitability of the Bonds
for the person concerned.
Prohibition of sales to retail investors
in the European Economic Area
No action has been undertaken or will be
undertaken to make available any Bonds to any retail investor in
the European Economic Area.
For the purposes of this press release,
a)
the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or
more) of the following:
i.
a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of
Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”);
or
ii.
a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as
amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”),
where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as
defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or
iii. a
person other than a “qualified investor” as defined in the
Prospectus Regulation.
b)
the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and
by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer
and the Bonds to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide
to purchase or to subscribe to the Bonds.
Consequently no key information document
required by Regulation (EU) 1286/2014 (as amended, the “EU
PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Bonds or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the European
Economic Area has been prepared and therefore offering or selling

undertaken to make available any Bonds to any retail investor in

MiFID II – Target Market:
Professional Investors and Eligible Counterparties and Retail
Investors (France only)
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer’s
product approval process, the target market assessment in respect
of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market
for the Bonds is French retail investors, eligible counterparties
and professional clients, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all
channels for distribution of the Bonds to French retail investors,
eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate.
Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds
(a “distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturers’
target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID
II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment
in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the
manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
