Covivio Hotels successfully priced a €500 million 9-year Green Bond
Covivio Hotels, Covivio’s subsidiary1 dedicated to Hotel Real Estate, has successfully priced today a €500 million Green Bond, maturing in May 2033.
This issuance was almost 4 times oversubscribed, demonstrating the bond investors' appetite for the hotel sector, as well as their confidence in Covivio's strategy and prime portfolio in hotels (89% located in the major European cities).
The proceeds will be used to finance or refinance Eligible Green Hotel portfolio as defined in the Green Financing Framework.
The spread of the Bond issuance vs mid-swap is 148 bps at 9 years, for a coupon of 4.125%.
The fixed rate of the issue will be largely swapped into floating rate, to take advantage of the Group’s strong hedging position (89% of debt hedged at end-2023; 5.6-year average hedging maturity) and maintain Covivio Hotels’ average interest rate (2.4% at end-2023).
This transaction will strengthen Covivio Hotels' balance sheet, extending the debt maturity.
