Today, GDF SUEZ has successfully launched a CHF 300 million bond issue. The bond has a 6-year maturity and carries a 1.5% coupon. GDF SUEZ has taken advantage of current favorable conditions on the Swiss Franc bond market. This emission has been swapped into Euro at fixed rate at 2.99% fixed rate, an historically low level of interest rate and currently more attractive than a straight bond issue in Euro.
This opportunistic issue is in line with the dynamic financing policy of the Group and helps to further diversify its financing. This transaction once again illustrates the market confidence in the prospects of the Group.
GDF SUEZ develops its businesses around a model based on responsible growth to take up today's major energy and environmental challenges: meeting energy needs, ensuring the security of supply, combating climate change and optimizing the use of resources. The Group provides highly efficient and innovative solutions to individuals, cities and businesses by relying on diversified gas-supply sources, flexible and low-emission power generation as well as unique expertise in four key sectors: liquefied natural gas, energy efficiency services, independent power production and environmental services. GDF SUEZ employs 218,350 people worldwide and achieved revenues of €84.5 billion in 2010.
