Edenred successfully issues a €500 million bond
Edenred today announces that it has successfully issued a €500 million bond with a 7-year maturity. The bond, with a coupon of 3.75%, will mature on January 15, 2033.
The issue met with strong demand from a diversified base of international institutional investors. With an order book more than 3 times subscribed corresponding to a total demand exceeding 1.6 billion euros, this issue reflects the market's confidence in Edenred's credit quality, the strength of its business model and its prospects for sustainable and profitable growth.
The new bond issue will provide financing for general corporate purposes, including the repaying of the €500 million bond issue due in March 2026.
This transaction strengthens the Group's financial structure and liquidity, and extends the average maturity of its bond debt, which now amounts 4.1 years taking into account the repayment of the bond issue due in March 2026, compared to 3.3 years at the end of December 2025.
Virginie Duperat-Vergne, Executive Vice President, Finance, said: “The success of this €500 million bond issue once again confirms the attractiveness of Edenred's credit to a wide range of quality investors. This issue enables the Group to actively manage its bond debt profile and extends the average maturity of its debt. This issue will contribute to the deployment of the Amplify25-28 strategic plan, notably by supporting the Group’s ongoing investments in technology and product.”
Edenred is rated A- with a stable outlook by Standard & Poor's.
Crédit Agricole CIB and Société Générale CIB acted as global coordinators. Barclays, BNP Paribas, CIC Market Solutions, Commerzbank and HSBC acted as joint active bookrunners.
