SCOR successfully places EUR 300
million subordinated Tier 2 notes
SCOR has successfully placed a dated
subordinated Tier 2 notes issue in the amount of EUR 300 million.
SCOR intends to use the proceeds of the issuance for general
corporate purposes.
The coupon has been set to 1.375% until
September 17, 2031, and resets every 10 years at the prevailing
10-year EUR mid-swap rate + 2.6%. The 31NC11 notes mature on
September 17, 2051.
Settlement is expected to take place on
September 17, 2020.
The proceeds from the notes are expected to be
eligible for inclusion in the Tier 2 regulatory capital, in
accordance with applicable rules and regulatory standards, and as
equity credit in the rating agency capital models.
The notes are expected to be rated A by Standard
& Poor’s.
SCOR also confirms its intention to redeem the
CHF 125 million undated subordinated notes, issued on October 20,
2014, and callable in October 2020, already refinanced from the
proceeds of the USD 125 million notes issued in 2019.
Denis Kessler, Chairman & Chief
Executive Officer of SCOR, comments: “With this successful
placement, SCOR continues to benefit from exceptional market
conditions in a low yield environment. The success of today’s Euro
placement enables us to further secure attractive long-term
financing to support the future organic growth of the Group. The
notes were oversubscribed by 9 times, which confirms the very high
level of confidence placed in the Group by the credit market.”
