Vivion announces successful tap issuance of existing 2028 notes in combination with refinancing
Vivion Investments S.à r.l. (“Vivion” or the “Company”) announces the successful tap issuance of additional €250 million 6.50% plus PIK Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (“Additional 2028 Notes”). The Additional 2028 Notes are issued to institutional investors by way of a private placement. The net proceeds from the issuance will principally be used by the Company to repay a £200 million (approximately €240 million) secured loan facility in the United Kingdom and thereby will increase the Company’s total unencumbered assets by approximately €1.06 billion to approximately €2.8 billion and reduce the Company’s future cash interest expense.
The Additional 2028 Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the existing €644,042,220 6.50% plus PIK Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (ISIN XS2658230094) on or around 29 January 2025.
BofA Securities and Citi acted as joint bookrunners for the transaction.
