- OMV has today issued its debut Eurobond transaction with a volume of EUR 750 mn and a maturity of 5 years - OMV is currently rated by Moody's Investors Service with "A3 (stable)" and by FitchRatings with "A- (stable)" - Austrian retail investors can subscribe the 6.25% OMV bonds from April 2 to 3
OMV Aktiengesellschaft, the leading energy group in Central Europe, today priced its inaugural Eurobond transaction. The bonds are issued out of OMV's new EUR 3 bn Euro Medium Term Note Program (EMTN). The bond issue improves the debt structure of the Group.
The EMTN program is a funding program, which allows OMV to issue debt in the Euromarkets on a regular or continuous basis. Each issue is a drawdown from the EMTN program. OMV is not obliged to issue and free to use the program at any time. The program offers flexibility regarding volume, maturity and structure of each issue.
Recently, OMV conducted a European roadshow, visiting Vienna, Frankfurt, London and Paris to meet with fixed-income investors. OMV is rated A3 and A- from both Moody's and Fitch respectively, thereby establishing OMV as a high-quality corporate issuer.
With this first transaction issued out of its EMTN program, OMV has established itself in the international bond markets. The bonds have a volume of EUR 750 mn, a denomination of EUR 1,000, a coupon of 6.25% and are maturing on April 7, 2014. The order book was well oversubscribed and the transaction priced at 370 bps over mid-swaps. Use of proceeds is for refinancing existing indebtedness and extends the maturity of debt, therefore optimizing OMV´s debt structure. OMV has applied for listings in Luxembourg and Vienna.
The sale of the bonds to Austrian retail investors is planned for April 2 to 3. Retail investors in Austria can subscribe the bonds in the domestic branches of Austrian banks.
Barclays Capital, Erste Group, Société Générale and J.P. Morgan acted as joint bookrunners on this transaction.
