Veolia raises 2.5 billion euros in a historical bond issuance

Veolia capitalized on the reopening of European markets to take advantage of favorable issuance conditions and complete a record bond placement with three new bond tranches totaling €2.5 billion:

• a 5-year bond for 950 million euros bearing a coupon of 3.209%,
• a 8-year bond for 900 million euros bearing a coupon of 3.639 %,
• a 12-year bond for 650 million euros bearing a coupon of 4.052 %.

The operation attracted more than 570 orders for an overall amount which peaked at 10.5 billion euros. Given this strong demand, the issuance was executed with new issue concessions vs secondary market between -2 and 5 basis points.

This high level of oversubscription, the quality of the investors and the very good terms obtained testify to the very positive perception of Veolia's signature, its international growth outlook and its financial solidity.

“This outstanding bond issuance confirms the excellent conditions at which the Group can tap the financial markets”, says Emmanuelle Menning, Deputy Veolia CEO Finance and Purchasing. “The very enthusiastic welcome from the market reinforces the strength of Veolia’s positioning as the international leader of ecological transformation. It also attests to the relevance of the GreenUp plan, combining resilience and growth, and the Group’s development strategy, including the recently announced acquisition of the Clean Earth company in the US hazardous waste business.”
