URW announces the successful placement of €815 Mn of new hybrid notes
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (“URW” or “the Group”) announces the successful placement of new €815 Mn Deeply Subordinated Perpetual Fixed Rate Resettable Perp-NC 5.5 hybrid notes (Perp-NC 5.5 Hybrid Notes), at a coupon of 4.875%.
This successful issuance received strong demand from investors. It was 3.1 times oversubscribed and had an order book of c. €2.5 Bn at its peak, reflecting investors’ appetite for URW’s credit.
As announced earlier today, the Group has also launched a concurrent tender offer on its €995 Mn 7.250% Hybrid Perp-NC 2028 notes (“NC2028 Notes” – as Priority 1) and €750 Mn 2.875% Hybrid Perp-NC 2026 notes (as Priority 2, at the Group’s sole discretion). The tender offer will expire on April 2, 2025.
The new notes are expected to settle and be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris on April 4, 2025.
With this transaction, the Group aims to proactively manage its hybrid portfolio by refinancing the NC2028 Notes, improve the blended coupon of its hybrids and extend its average period to the first reset date.
