Success of a 500 million euros 5-year Sustainability-Linked Bond

Carrefour today successfully placed a Sustainability-Linked bond issue, for a total amount of €500 million. It is indexed to two objectives: the first one is linked to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, related to Scope 1 and 2. The second objective is linked to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from goods and services purchased (Scope 3).

The main features are:

●     Amount: 500 million euros

●     Issuer : Carrefour SA

●     Maturity and payment: June 2030

●     Format: Fixed rate, bullet repayment

●     Coupon: 3.25% per annum

This issue was oversubscribed almost 6 times, demonstrating once again the great confidence of the financial community in the quality of the Carrefour signature. This enabled a rapid placement at favorable conditions.

The 500 million euros raised will be allocated to the financing of the Group's general corporate purposes as well as to the refinancing of its debt.

The bond will benefit from a "BBB" rating from Standard & Poor's.
