Pricing of Debt
easyJet
announces that on 13 March 2024 it priced EUR
850 million of
bonds under its Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) programme to be issued
on 20 March 2024 and guaranteed by easyJet FinCo B.V. and easyJet
Airline Company Limited. The bonds mature in 2031, have a coupon of
3.750% and are expected to be rated Baa2 (stable) by Moody's and
BBB (positive) by Standard & Poor's, with over 200 investors
participating in the issue.
Over the last
18 months, easyJet has retired circa £1.6 billion pounds of debt,
deleveraging the balance sheet following the recovery in travel
post pandemic. Part of the issuance proceeds will be used to repay
existing debt as it matures over the next 18 months.
Commenting on
the issue, Kenton Jarvis, Chief Financial Officer, said:
"We
are very pleased with the success of this bond issue. The interest
shown by investors at greater than 4x oversubscription and the
competitive pricing underscores the market's confidence in
easyJet's strategy."
