- Issue size increased from €200m to €300m
- Convertible Bond with 30% premium and 2% Coupon (with 0.5% step down in case of investment grade rating)
Immofinanz AG successfully priced convertible bonds due 2024 in an aggregate nominal amount of €300m and a denomination of €100,000 each. The Bonds are initially convertible into €125.4m 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% 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% above the reference share price of EUR 1.8410
- initial conversion price of €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 €300m 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.
