EUR450 MILLION US PRIVATE PLACEMENT DEBT ISSUE
SEGRO plc ("SEGRO" or "the Company") has arranged a private
placement of EUR450 million 12, 15 and 20 year senior unsecured
notes (the "Notes") with a group of institutional investors.
The issue consists of three tranches: EUR150 million at a fixed
coupon of 1.35 per cent due 2032, EUR50 million at a fixed coupon
of 1.45 per cent due 2035 and EUR250 million at a fixed coupon of
1.83 per cent due 2040. This translates to a weighted average
coupon of 1.63 per cent and a weighted average maturity of 16.8
years.
In addition, SEGRO has today given notice to holders of the 6.75
per cent Sterling bonds due 2021 and the 7.0 per cent Sterling
bonds due 2022 (the "Bonds") that it intends to redeem in full the
outstanding amounts. The combined nominal value of the Bonds was
GBP118 million, and they will be redeemed for GBP131 million during
August and September.
Pro forma for the position as at 30 June 2020, and taking into
account associated hedging, the impact of these transactions is to
extend SEGRO's average debt maturity (on a look through basis) to
10.7 years and reduce the average cost of gross debt to 1.6 per
cent (including joint ventures at share, excluding commitment fees
and amortised costs).
The net proceeds from the new US Private Placement issue, after
redeeming the Bonds, will be used for general corporate purposes
and the Notes will rank pari passu with SEGRO's existing unsecured
bank, bond and US Private Placement debt.
Soumen Das, Chief Financial Officer of SEGRO, commented:
"The support we have received from our existing and new
investors for our third US private placement debt issue is a
further endorsement of the strategy we are pursuing at SEGRO,
reflected particularly in the long duration and low coupons of the
new notes. It will increase SEGRO's weighted average debt maturity
and further improve the natural currency hedge for our
euro-denominated assets."
