AROUNDTOWN PROACTIVELY MANAGES DEBT MATURITY SCHEDULE THROUGH SUCCESSFUL
€750 MILLION BOND ISSUANCE AND LAUNCH OF BUY BACK TENDER FOR BONDS
6 May 2025.
Aroundtown (‘the Company’ or ‘AT’) successfully issued today a €750
million 5-year senior unsecured bond (the “Issuance”) and in parallel
launched a tender offer to buyback certain bond series targeting over €2bn
nominal amount (the “Tender”). AT is pro-actively managing its debt
structure by extending its maturity profile and supporting its costs of
debt.
The new Series 41 Straight Bond will carry a coupon of 3.5% significantly
lower to the coupon of 4.8% at the last issuance in July 2024 and marks
the successful reduction of the marginal cost of debt. The issuance today
attracted very strong investor demand, with a book that was 3x times
oversubscribed during the day. The bond is expected to be rated BBB by
S&P.
In parallel, the Company has launched a tender offer to holders of certain
series of its outstanding bonds as part of a liability management
exercise. The Tender targets over €2 billion nominal amount of outstanding
bonds and is mainly aimed at bond series with shorter term maturities,
within the next 18 months, with the goal of proactively managing the
Company’s debt maturity profile, as well as bond series with a relatively
higher coupon to support its costs of debt. The Tender was launched on 6
May 2025 and is expected to expire on 13 May 2025.
The Company expects to use its liquidity position, together with the
proceeds of the Issuance, to repay debt as part of the Tender, as well as
to repay short-term debt at maturity in the upcoming periods. Year-to-date
the Company has already repaid ca. €660 million of bonds and is expecting
to further reduce gross debt in the coming period. These proactive
measures help the Company to extend its debt maturity profile further.
