Sodexo completes a bond issue of 600 million euros

Issy-les-Moulineaux, October 10, 2016 - Sodexo completed today an 11 years bond issue for an amount of €600 million to April 2027 with a coupon of 0.75%. This operation was largely oversubscribed and placed with European investors.

This issue is an integral part of the active management of the Group's debt, to significantly lengthen the maturities and progressively reduce the cost of its financial debt.

As part of this active debt management, the Group has also reimbursed in advance:

• On August 25, 2016,
  • The last tranche of the US private placement issued in 2008 at a rate of 6.43% and a maturity of September 2018, of  $70m,
  • 23% of the three tranches of the American private placement issued in 2011 with rates ranging between 4.24% and 4.95% and maturities from 2018 to 2023, of $138m.

The early reimbursement generated an indemnity of $23m (about €21m) in fiscal 2016 but will generate total savings on the interest of $34m (about €30m) over the next seven fiscal years.

• On September 29, 2016, 18% of the three tranches of the American private placements issued in 2011 for $108m, under broadly similar conditions.
