Debt issuance – Replacement

LONDON, June 23, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

The Issuer advises that the following replaces the Segro plc share issue announcement published at [10:00] TSB today.

The release has been updated with the correct title: Issue of Debt.

All other details remain unchanged.

The full patched version is shown below.

€225M DEBT ISSUE BY PRIVATE PLACEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES

SEGRO plc (“SEGRO” or “the Company”) has arranged a US private placement of €225 million of 15 and 20 year senior unsecured bonds (the “Bonds”) to a group of institutional investors.

The issue consists of two tranches, both drawn in September 2022:

  • €50 million at a fixed coupon of 3.87% maturing in 2037 (based on a euro mid-swap rate of 2.54% and a spread of 133 basis points); and

  • €175 million at a fixed coupon of 4.14% maturing in 2042 (based on a euro mid-swap rate of 2.44% and a spread of 170 basis points).

This translates into a weighted average coupon of 4.08% and a weighted average maturity of 18.9 years.

Pro forma for the position as of May 31, 2022, taking into account associated hedges and assuming debt is fully drawn down, SEGRO’s average debt maturity (on a transparent basis) is 8.6 years (March 31, 2022 : 7.8 years) and the average cost of gross debt is 1.7% (including equity joint ventures, excluding commitment fees and amortized costs) (March 31, 2022: 1.6%). The percentage of fixed-rate debt is 76% (March 31, 2022: 66%), or 93% including interest rate caps (March 31, 2022: 84%).

The net proceeds from the new issue of the US private placement will be used for general corporate purposes and the notes will rank pari passu with SEGRO’s existing unsecured bank indebtedness and US private placement.

Soumen Das, CFO of SEGRO, commented:

“The support we have received from our existing investors for our fourth US private placement debt issue is further endorsement of the strategy we are pursuing at SEGRO, which is reflected in particular in the long duration of the new bonds. will have a marginal impact on the average cost of debt, while increasing the percentage of debt that is fixed rate in times of interest rate volatility”.
