On 11 June 2024: EDF (BBB positive S&P / Baa1 stable Moody’s / BBB+ stable Fitch) successfully priced a senior green bond issuance in 3 tranches for a nominal amount of €3 billion (the “Bonds”):

  • €1 billion Bond, with a 7-year maturity and a 4.125% fixed coupon;

An amount equal to the net proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance and/or refinance investments as defined in EDF’s Green Financing Framework (1) and aligned with the European taxonomy, as follows:

  • The 7-year maturity tranche in relation to the lifetime extension of the existing French nuclear reactors,
  • The 12-year maturity tranche to renewable energy and hydro power projects,

This transaction enables EDF to finance its strategy and objective to contribute to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

Settlement and delivery will take place on 17 June 2024, the date on which the Bonds will be admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris.

The expected rating for the Bonds is BBB / Baa1 / BBB+ (S&P / Moody's / Fitch).
