Milano, 18 aprile 2018 – Il Gruppo Piaggio ha concluso con successo il collocamento sul mercato high-yield di un prestito obbligazionario senior, non assistito da garanzie e non convertibile, dell'ammontare di Euro 250 milioni con una durata di 7 anni, un interesse annuo del 3,625% fisso ed un prezzo di emissione pari al 100% (il Prestito Obbligazionario). Il Prestito Obbligazionario è finalizzato al rifinanziamento di obbligazioni dello stesso importo in scadenza nel 2021 (liability management) e consente di rafforzare il profilo del debito del Gruppo, riducendone il costo medio ed allungandone sensibilmente la durata media.

Il Prestito Obbligazionario ha ricevuto un rating BB- da S&P e B1 da Moody's, in linea con il rating del Gruppo.
È previsto che il regolamento del Prestito Obbligazionario e l'ammissione alle negoziazioni sull'Euro MTF Market gestito dalla Luxembourg Stock Exchange avvengano il 30 aprile 2018.
