ANNOUNCEMENT

 

THE PRESENT DOCUMENT IS NOT INTENDED FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION INTO OR IN THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA OR JAPAN

 

 

OTE raises €700 million from international markets

 

· A vote of confidence to Greece and OTE - high demand for the new bond issue

· Coupon of 3.5% - heavy oversubscription

 

 

ATHENS, Greece - July 7, 2014 - Hellenic Telecommunications Organization SA (ASE: HTO, OTC MARKET:HLTOY), the Greek full-service telecommunications provider, announces, that it has successfully concluded the bookbuilding process for the issue of a Euro 700 million six- year fixed-rate bond.

 

The coupon was set at an attractive rate of 3.5% p.a., demonstrating the support of capital markets in OTE's strategy and the prospects of the Greek economy. The issue was heavily oversubscribed with the total demand exceeding Euro 2.5 billion.

 

Out of the total bond size of Euro 700 million, an amount of approx. Euro 500 million was raised by bondholders who expressed intention to tender bonds maturing in February 2015 and May 2016 in order to subscribe to the new bond.

 

This bond issue is part of the multi-layered refinancing strategic plan, which OTE has been successfully implementing over the past few years. With the completion of this liability management exercise, OTE will achieve a further reduction of its cost of debt, extension and smoothening of its debt maturity profile. This significant success contributes to the implementation of OTE's strategy that entails substantial investments to the benefit of its customers and the country.

 

OTE Group Chairman and CEO, Mr. Michael Tsamaz stated: "It is a vote of confidence of the international capital markets to both Greece and OTE. The demand for the new bonds that we will issue is an acknowledgement of our strategy as well as of the prospects of the recovering Greek economy."

 

This new bond will be issued by OTE plc and guaranteed by ΟΤΕ SA, under its existing Global Medium Term Note Programme. The bond will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Settlement is expected on July 10, 2014.

 

Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley acted as joint bookrunners of the issue, with Alpha Bank, National Bank of Greece, Eurobank Ergasias and Piraeus Bank acting as Co-Managers.
