IMMOFINANZ AG: Successful pricing of EUR 300 million 7-year Convertible
Bonds
- Issue size increased from EUR 200 million to EUR 300 million
- Convertible Bond with 30.00% premium and 2.00% Coupon (with 0.50% step
down in case of investment grade rating)
IMMOFINANZ AG successfully priced convertible bonds due 2024 in an
aggregate nominal amount of EUR 300 million and a denomination of EUR
100,000 each. The Bonds are initially convertible into 125.4 million no-par
value bearer shares of IMMOFINANZ AG, representing approximately 12.84% of
the current outstanding share capital of IMMOFINANZ AG.
Pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders to subscribe to the Bonds have
been excluded.
Following the bookbuilding process, the bond was priced as follows:
2.00% coupon p.a.
There will be a step-down in coupon by 0.5% applicable from the interest
period immediately following the first date on which the Company has been
rated as investment grade by either S&P, Moody's or Fitch and for the time
that the Company maintains such investment grade rating (subject to a 3
months grace period)
initial conversion premium at 30.00% above the reference share price of
EUR 1.8410
initial conversion price of EUR 2.3933
The final issue size will depend on the acceptance rate of a conversion
offer for the outstanding convertible bonds due 2018 which is concurrently
conducted. Approx. 43% success rate of the conversion offer will be
required for the EUR 300 million to be issued, subject to a pro-rata
clawback in case of lower participation, as soon as reasonably practicable
after the end of the conversion offer (expected to be on or around 20
January 2017).
The Bonds will have a maturity of 7 years, an investor put option after 5
years and will be issued and redeemed at 100% of their principal amount.
Application will be made to introduce the New Convertible Bonds for trading
on the Third Market (MTF) of the Vienna Stock Exchange.
The proceeds will be used to finance a portion of the Conversion offer,
refinance existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
Settlement of the convertible is expected to take place on or around 24
January 2017, alongside the incentivized conversion.
Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan acted as Joint Global Coordinator and Joint
Bookrunneres and Erste Group Bank, Raiffeisen Bank International and
UniCredit Bank were acting as Co-Lead Managers.
