SEGRO plc ('SEGRO') announces the launch and pricing of a GBP350
million, 19-year senior unsecured bond issue, priced at 175 basis
points above gilts, with an annual coupon of 5.125 per cent.
The bond issuance, which was carried out under SEGRO's Medium
Term Note Programme, was almost six times oversubscribed.
The proceeds of the issue will principally be used for general
corporate purposes.
The pro forma cost of debt based on the position at 30 September
2022 is 2.2 per cent (30 September 2022: 2.1 per cent) and the
average debt maturity increases to 9.1 years (30 September 2022:
8.2 years). This transaction also increases the fixed element of
our interest rate exposure to 78 per cent (86 per cent including
interest rate caps).
Soumen Das, SEGRO Chief Financial Officer, commented:
"We appreciate the strong support from investors for our first
Sterling bond issuance since 2017, which provides valuable,
long-duration liquidity to fund our development pipeline to support
the continued occupier strength we are seeing across our markets.
The strength of SEGRO's investment case and capital markets access
means we have been able to raise GBP2.1 billion of new, long-term
debt funding at SEGRO and SELP this year, at an average cost of
debt of 3.0 per cent with an average duration of almost nine
years."
