Today Aedifica has successfully priced its first benchmark Sustainability Bond for a total size of €500 million. The notes are issued under Aedifica's updated Sustainable Finance Framework. The notes are issued with a tenor of 10 years and pay a fixed coupon of 0.75% per annum. The strong investor demand for Aedifica was evidenced by an orderbook of €1.8 billion, more than 3.6 times covering the deal size.
The issuance of the Sustainability Bond is aligned with Aedifica's tagline 'housing with care' and its longterm sustainability goals. The proceeds of the issuance of the Sustainability Bond will be used to (re)finance environmentally sustainable healthcare assets as defined in the Company's updated Sustainable Finance Framework. V.E. provided a Second Party Opinion on the alignment of the Sustainable Finance Framework with relevant international standards, including the ICMA Green- and Social Bond Principles.
After the settlement and admission to trading of the notes, which is scheduled for 9 September 2021, the bond will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Euro MTF Market).
Stefaan Gielens, CEO of Aedifica, commented: "We are very pleased with the successful launch of our inaugural Sustainability Bond. The strong investor demand is a clear vote of confidence in Aedifica's strategy. We wish to expressly thank everyone for their support. This Sustainability Bond is a further building block in our long-term sustainability strategy. It will allow us to accelerate our sustainability efforts and reduce the portfolio's environmental footprint."
ABN AMRO and Morgan Stanley acted as Global Coordinators on this transaction. Belfius Bank, BNP Paribas and ING joined the Global Coordinators as Active Bookrunners.
