MGI successfully places EUR 175 million of new senior secured bonds at 98.00% of par with a floating rate coupon of EURIBOR + 6.25% and repurchases EUR 115 million of existing senior secured bonds
The new bonds (ISIN SE0018042277) were issued at a price of 98.00% of par with a floating rate coupon of EURIBOR + 6.25% and a tenor of four years. As previously announced, the Company offered a partial buy-back to the holders of MGI’s outstanding senior secured floating rate bonds maturing on November 27, 2024 with ISIN SE0015194527 in connection with the bond issue. Existing bonds in an aggregate nominal amount of EUR 115 million were also repurchased by the Company in the buy-back.
Paul Echt, CFO of MGI, commented, “The transaction was well oversubscribed, generating strong demand from institutional investors based in Europe, North America and Asia, allowing us to issue EUR 175 million in new senior secured bonds. Through this transaction we raised another EUR 60 million in new cash for general corporate purposes, including M&A, and rolled over EUR 115 million from the existing senior secured bond. Consequently, we have further diversified our bond maturities. Without having any liquidity need in the near future, this additional EUR 60 million of capital brings us to well above EUR 150 million of cash on-hand which we will use to take advantage of plentiful M&A opportunities with appealing transaction multiples that exist in the market today.”
