ARGAN successfully issued a 5-year
€500 million bond
ARGAN today launched a new bond issue for a total amount €500 million maturing in November 2026 and carrying an annual coupon of 1.011%.
The success of this issue, with an oversubscription ratio of 5.4x, demonstrates the confidence of the markets in ARGAN’s strategy as well as in the credit rating of the company (S&P: BBB-, stable outlook).
The net proceeds of this issue will be partly used for the redemption at maturity of the two bonds issued in 2017 at rates of 2.65% and 3.25%, therefore contributing to reducing ARGAN’s cost of debt. The balance will be used to refinance part of the company’s secured debt and to finance its growth and general corporate purposes.
The bonds have been placed with numerous French and European institutional investors and will be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris.
J.P. Morgan acted as global coordinator and bookrunner.
