PARIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:
Veolia (Paris:VIE) successfully realized a new issue of hybrid bonds, which takes the form of a 850 million euro deeply subordinated perpetual notes issuance, bearing a coupon of 4.322% until its first reset date in January 2033.
The transaction was very well welcomed by the markets, gathering orders from close to 200 investors for an overall amount of 4.7 billion euros, giving an oversubscription rate above 5.5 times. Thanks to strong demand, the new issue concession against secondary levels was negative, at 5 basis points below fair value.

It wraps up the refinancing of the hybrid debts with 2026 first call dates”, says Emmanuelle Menning, Deputy Veolia CEO Finance and Purchasing. “The excellent market response confirms the relevance of Veolia’s positioning as the world leader in ecological transformation, as well as the strength of our activities in our three businesses: water, energy and waste.”
