Press Release - Regulated Information1

Early closing of the public bond offer Success of a public offering mostly to retail investors

La Hulpe, 16 October 2020

With the subscriptions registered for the bond issues at 4 and 6 years accompanied by gross coupons of 3.25 % and 3.875 % having achieved the maximum amount of the offer, i.e. € 35 million for the 4-year tranche and € 65 million for the 6-year tranche, the subscription period was closed early this 16 October 2020 at 17.30. The net proceeds from the public offer thus come to € 100 million (excluding costs and fees relating to the issue, estimated at € 100,000).

The date of payment and delivery of the bonds is set at 23 October 2020.

Belfius Bank and KBC will inform investors of the number of bonds that will definitively be allocated to them.

The bonds will be admitted for trading on the regulated market Euronext Brussels (ISIN Codes BE0002739192 (at 4 years) and BE0002737188 (at 6 years)).

These two bond issues at 4 and 6 years will be respectively issued at an issue price of 101.625 % and 101.875% and redeemed at maturity at 100% of the nominal value of the issued securities. The issue price includes the retail fee (of 1.625% and 1.875% respectively) reduced, if applicable, by a rebate of between 0% and 0.50% for certain qualified investors acting as intermediaries for subsequent investment by retail investors. They will bear interest at a gross rate per year of 3.25% and 3.875% respectively. The gross actuarial yields on the basis of the issue prices will be 2.60% and 3.152% while the net actuarial yields (that is, the gross yield less the withholding tax of 30%) will amount to 1.85% and 2.37%. The bonds will have a nominal value of 1,000 euros and will mature on 23 October 2026 and 23 October 2026 respectively.

The net proceeds from the public offer can be used for the acquisition of new projects with the objective of increasing the portfolio of projects and areas under development. In the period required to complete negotiations, the proceeds of the loan could be used, in the short or medium term, as appropriate, to finance construction work on projects that have obtained building permits. In addition, the surplus of the proceeds from the loan could be used temporarily to repay commercial paper (CP and MTN) and, where applicable, corporate financing reaching maturity in the normal course of their program.

Sidney D. BENS, C.F.O. states:

"Due to the high demand from retail and qualified investors, the bond issue (in two tranches) was subscribed more than 2.5 times, confirming the confidence that the financial markets have in ATENOR's strategy and in particular in its financial strategy based on a broad diversification of its financial resources.

ATENOR is very satisfied with the success of this bond issue, following the capital increase carried out last June, despite a very complicated sanitary, financial and economic context. These two major transactions in 2020 will strengthen ATENOR's capital base and therefore support its continued international growth."

Belfius Bank led this operation together with KBC and ATENOR was accompanied by the law firm NautaDutilh.
