CPI PROPERTY GROUP – High Demand for Recent Green Bond
CPI PROPERTY GROUP (“CPIPG” or the “Company”), a leading European landlord, is pleased to announce the closing of €500 million of 5-year senior unsecured green bonds.
More than €3 billion of orders were placed for the green bonds, the strongest-ever response to a bond issue by CPIPG. With a six times oversubscribed orderbook, CPIPG was able to reduce the cost
significantly from initial guidance to pricing. The coupon was set at 7%, which is higher than CPIPG’s historic cost of debt. However, CPIPG proceeded with the green bonds in order to bolster
liquidity and demonstrate market access in support of the Group’s credit ratings and capital structure.
“Events of past few years have created many opportunities for investors to test, examine and get to know CPIPG,” said David Greenbaum, CEO. “We are grateful for the support and remain focused on
delivering for all stakeholders.”
Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Santander, Société Générale, Erste Group, SMBC, Raiffeisen Bank International and UniCredit acted as joint bookrunners on the transaction.
