Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 07 May 2021 – Euronext, the leading pan-European market infrastructure, has successfully priced a three-tranche senior bond offering representing a total amount of €1.8bn.

The bonds will be admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Dublin as of 17 May 2021 and are rated BBB by S&P. As well as on other electronic trading platforms, the 5, 10 and 20-year bonds will be available for trading on the MTS BondVision and MTS BondsPro venues, which are now part of the Euronext product suite following the acquisition of Borsa Italiana Group. The bonds will be settled through VP Securities, Euronext’s Danish CSD.

The main features of the issue are as follows:

  • Tranche 1: 5-year bond worth €600 million (maturing on 17 May 2026), with an annual coupon of 0.125% (ISIN: DK0030485271)

The final order book reached an amount of c. €5 billion and was more than 2.7 times oversubscribed. The success of this transaction illustrates investors' strong confidence in Euronext’s growth ambitions, strategy and solid credit profile.

The offering will allow Euronext to extend its maturity profile and further diversify its debt investor base.

The net proceeds of the issue will be used to partially refinance the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group, completed on 29 April 2021 for a final consideration of €4,444 million.

Bank of America, Credit Agricole CIB, HSBC and JP Morgan acted as Joint Global Coordinators, and ABN AMRO, BNPP, IMI Intesa, Mediobanca, SGCIB, UniCredit and ING Securities acted as Joint active bookrunners on the transaction.

"We are delighted by the strong support seen today on this €1.8 billion bond issue. This demonstrates the confidence of our investors in our strategic acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group that creates the leading pan-European market infrastructure. This bond, to be listed in Dublin, traded on MTS venues and settled through VP Securities, in Denmark, is the proof of concept of the Euronext federal model, which aims to strengthen the backbone of the Capital Markets Union in Europe"
