As a result of this transaction and following the Company's issuance of EUR200
million of notes tapped to form a single consolidated benchmark series with
Atrium's EUR300,000,000 3.000 per cent. notes due 2025 (and rated BBB by Fitch
and Baa3 by Moody's, in line with the Company's corporate credit rating), which
was announced on 18 June 2020, the Company has extended its average debt
maturity to five years and its average cost of debt going forward will be 2.9%.
In line with the Company's ongoing strategy to proactively manage its capital
structure, these transactions further strengthen the Company's capital structure
and provide additional financial flexibility.
Liad Barzilai, Chief Executive Officer of Atrium Group, commented:
"Last week we completed a successful tap of Atrium's 2025 notes with an issue
which was three times oversubscribed, allowing us to upscale the offering to
EUR200 million. The finalisation today of the tender for our 2022 Notes,
demonstrates the continued execution of our strategy to proactively manage
Atrium's capital structure by extending our debt maturities to five years. I'm
also very pleased that the tap of our 2025 notes was placed with both a broad
base of new and existing investors, a reflection of Atrium's credit quality."
