Amsterdam, 27 September 2021 – CTP N.V., one of Europe’s top five logistics property companies and the largest logistics property owner-developer in CEE, today successfully completed another Green Bond issu ance, structured as a dual tranche. CTP raised a total of €1 billion under its [recently increased] €8 billion EMTN program. The issue included a €500 million five-year tranche, a €500 million ten-year tranche and a concurrent €150 million capped tender offer on the €650 million senior notes due October 2025. Total demand for the issue was around €3.5 billion and the tender offer well exceeded the targeted amount, evidencing and further supporting the solid standing that CTP holds amongst international bond investors less than one year after first entering the market.

At pricing, the five-year tranche’s annual coupon was fixed at a rate of 0.625%, while the ten-year tranche annual coupon was fixed at 1.50%. The 10-year tranche marks CTP’s longest tenor to date. The tender was equally well received by noteholders. It was capped at €150mln to preserve the liquidity of a benchmark size of €500 million after settlement.

The new debt issue achieved broad institutional distribution, selling primarily to asset managers (66% of the €1 billion issued), with the bulk of demand coming from the UK/Ireland (52%), Benelux (15%), the DACH region (14%) and France (7%). Proceeds will be used (i) to finance a concurrent €150 million capped tender offer on the senior notes due October 2025 and (ii) to substantially pre-fund the development pipeline for 2022. CTP has chosen to issue exclusively Green Bonds, following its 2019 commitment to certify its entire portfolio of logistics and industrial projects to the BREEAM Very Good standard and above. Well over half of the issuance size was again placed with typical green investors

The newly issued Green Bonds mature on 27 September 2026 and 27 September 2031 respectively and carry investment grade ratings from both Moody’s (Baa3, with outlook stable) and S&P (BBB-, outlook stable).
