Care Property Invest raises €32.5 million through the issuance of Sustainability Bonds via a Private Placement

Schoten, Belgium – Thursday 24 June 2021

Care Property Invest has successfully completed its first debt capital markets transaction by means of a €32.5 million Sustainability Bonds Private Placement. The notes have a maturity of 10 years, with coupons of 2.05%, which means that Care Property Invest is able to further extend its average debt maturity at a financing cost similar to its current average. The bond was placed with an institutional investor, belonging to an international insurance group. With this transaction Care Property Invest secured financing to cover its existing commitments and planned capex for the next 12 months.

This issuance confirms Care Property Invest's commitment to sustainable development and further strengthening of its ESG strategy. The Sustainability Bonds are issued under the newly established Sustainable Finance Framework of Care Property Invest, on which Care Property Invest obtained a positive Second Party Opinion provided by Sustainalytics. It is also confirmed that the principles of this financing program are in line with the ICMA Green Bond Principles.

The net proceeds from these bonds will be used exclusively to finance or refinance eligible sustainable assets as included in the Care Property Invest Sustainable Finance Framework. The assets provide direct environmental and social profit benefits and are required to meet the eligible criteria reported in the Sustainable Finance Framework, mapped on the project categories of the ICMA Green – and Social Bond Principles, the EU Environmental Objectives as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The allocation is expected at issuance or 6 months afterwards at the latest and will be reported on in the 2021 Sustainability report which will contain the amount allocated, a breakdown on categories of eligible assets and a breakdown by country and a breakdown between financing and refinancing of eligible assets.

The bond will be listed on Euronext Growth Brussels and added to the Euronext ESG Bond Initiative.

Care Property Invest's Sustainable Finance Framework is consistent with amongst others the guidelines of the Green Bond Principles (ICMA, 2018), Social Bond Principles (ICMA, 2020) and the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (2018).

Filip Van Zeebroeck, CFO of Care Property Invest;

'This issuance of a first sustainability bond represents a true milestone in the financing strategy as well as the sustainability strategy of Care Property Invest as it shows that Care Property Invest can build on its risk-averse, rock-solid credit profile, which is highly appreciated by institutional investors. This inaugural transaction shows that Care Property Invest can tap into the bond market as part of its financing strategy and the diversification of financial debt. Care Property Invest will build on this transaction and seize opportunities in the bond market in the future to finance the growth of its portfolio. On top of that it underscores the importance of the sustainability trajectory of Care Property Invest set about in 2019 with its first sustainability report and the latest, extended sustainability report issued only 2 days ago. The efforts made on the reporting and, more in general, Care Property Invest 's commitment to ESG as part of its overall strategy are once more underscored. We would like to thank everybody involved in this successful transaction.'

ABN AMRO deal team (David de Weerd & Dick Schotman);

'This milestone transaction marks the first sustainable bond issued by Care Property Invest. Raising long-term institutional financing as an inaugural issuer underlines the Company's strong credit profile and dedication to sustainability. The funding diversification will further add to the Company's already impressive growth story. We are happy to have been part of this transaction as Arranger and Sustainability Bond Structuring Advisor and are looking forward to further support Care Property Invest on its mission as a European investor in healthcare real estate!'
