Accor completes a €600 million bond issue

Today Accor successfully placed a fixed rate bond issue of €600 million, with a 5 year-maturity (February 4, 2014) and a coupon of 7.50%.

Accor's low leverage together with its BBB long-term rating with stable outlook by Fitch and Standard & Poor's enabled the group to complete this bond issue at satisfying conditions. The bond has been placed with more than 200 European institutional investors.

This bond issue aims to diversify the Group's financial resources and to increase the average maturity of its debt.

Deutsche Bank, Natixis, and Société Générale Corporate Investment Bank acted as bookrunners for this bond issue.
