Issue of Debt

Compagnie de Saint-Gobain

PRESS RELEASE

 

March 30, 2020

 

Saint-Gobain FURTHER REINFORCES ITS financing:

€1.5 billion bond issue and

syndicated credit line adjusted to €2 billion

 

On March 26, Saint-Gobain launched a dual tranche €1.5 billion bond issue consisting of:

§ €750 million with a 3 year maturity and a 1.75% coupon

§ €750 million with a 7 1/2 year maturity and a 2.375% coupon

 

Despite the volatile context, the final order book totalled over €8 billion from over 300 investors, which underlines bond investors' confidence in the credit quality of Saint-Gobain.

 

Saint-Gobain's long-term senior debt is rated BBB by Standard & Poor's and Baa2 by Moody's.

 

BNP Paribas, CA-CIB, Citi, J.P. Morgan, Natixis and Société Générale acted as bookrunners for this bond issue.

 

This transaction enables Saint-Gobain to further reinforce its liquidity, with longer maturity debt. Following the bond issue, the syndicated credit line announced on March 23 will be reduced from €2.5 billion to €2.0 billion. With these two transactions Saint-Gobain secures €3.5 billion in new financing, compared to €2.5 billion as of March 23.

 

This new financing is in addition to the confirmed and undrawn back-up credit lines of €4.0 billion and access to the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (PEPP) launched by the European Central Bank.
