Etalon Group Announces Order Book Closed for Leader-Invest Bonds
ETALON GROUP PLC ("Etalon Group" or the "Company"), one of Russia's largest and longest-established development and construction companies, announces that on 16 September 2021, Leader-Invest (a subsidiary of Etalon Group) successfully closed the order book for bonds with a total nominal value of RUB 10 billion.
Investors were offered 5-year exchange-traded bonds with quarterly coupons and an amortised repayment schedule starting from the 12th coupon. The issue duration is 3.4 years. The technical placement of the bond issue is scheduled for 21 September 2021 on Moscow Exchange.
The organisers of this placement were AK Bars Bank, Alfa-Bank, BCS Global Markets, Veles Capital, VTB Capital, Gazprombank, Bank Derzhava, Bank Zenit, ITI Capital, UNIVER Capital, Russian Agricultural Bank, Raiffeisenbank, Region BC, SberCIB, Sinara Investment Bank, Solid IFC, Tinkoff Bank and Expobank. The placement agent was Bank Otkrytie.
Bookbuilding for the bonds took place on 16 September 2021. The placement attracted strong interest from investors: the total demand exceeded the initial planed volume by more than two times, which enabled the bond issue to be increased to RUB 10 billion from the initially announced amount of at least RUB 8 billion. At the close of the book, the interest rate for the entire duration of the bonds was set at 9.10% per annum. The proceeds from the placement will be used to expand the Company's project portfolio as part of the implementation of Etalon Group's business development strategy.
