COFIROUTE successfully issues a €750 million bond at 10 years
VINCI announces the successful placement by its subsidiary COFIROUTE of a €750 million bond issue, maturing in October 2027 with an annual coupon of 1.125%.
The issue was around 2,5 times oversubscribed, confirming investor confidence in the company's credit quality, rated A- by Standard & Poor's, with stable outlook.
The issue, part of the EMTN programme, is intended to refinance COFIROUTE's general purposes. It enables the company to take advantage of very good market conditions to continue to optimise the cost of its debt and lengthen its average debt maturity.
The joint book-runners of this transaction were CA-CIB, BBVA, HSBC, MUFG and UNICREDIT.
