Paris, Amsterdam, Apr 18, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - Unibail-Rodamco last week conducted a European roadshow interacting with more than 50 investors. Yesterday, the Group priced a EUR 2.0 Bn dual-tranche hybrid transaction:

- A EUR 1,250 Mn Deeply Subordinated Perpetual Non-Call 5.5 year hybrid security with a 2.125% coupon;
- A EUR 750 Mn Deeply Subordinated Perpetual Non-Call 8 year hybrid security with a 2.875% coupon.

The combined order book came to EUR 6.8 Bn, the largest order book for a Euro denominated hybrid issuance in 2018 to date.

This transaction is the first ever public hybrid security issuance by a European REIT.

It also marks the return of Unibail-Rodamco to the securities markets following the announcement of the acquisition of Westfield in December 2017.

The use of proceeds of this transaction is to finance part of the cash consideration of the Westfield acquisition and will reduce Unibail-Rodamco's bridge facility.

The hybrid securities have been rated Baa1 (Moody's) / BBB+ (S&P).

Unibail-Rodamco is rated A2 (stable) / A (stable) / A (negative) by Moody's, S&P and Fitch respectively.
