Sartorius completes placement of bond with a volume of 500 million euros
 

• Bond with a term of 5 years more than 4 times oversubscribed
• Proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of existing debt

The life science group Sartorius has successfully issued a bond with a volume of 500 million euros via its Dutch subsidiary Sartorius Finance B.V.. The issue was targeted at institutional investors and met with strong demand, being more than 4 times oversubscribed. The bond has a coupon of 3.75 percent per annum. Sartorius has applied for admission to trading on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

Sartorius intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. This includes the refinancing of upcoming maturities, mainly the redemption of a 650 million euro bond with an interest rate of 4.25 percent due in autumn 2026.

“The successful bond issuance further strengthens our balanced debt maturity profile and our long‑term financing position. At the same time, the strong demand from investors underscores the capital markets’ confidence in Sartorius and our strategic direction,” said Dr. Florian Funck, CFO and member of Sartorius’ Executive Board.
