Logicor, a leading owner and manager of logistics real estate in Europe, announces the successful placing of €1.5 billion of unsecured bonds under the Group’s EMTN programme comprising three series of notes with an average coupon of 1.417% and rated BBB by S&P:

  • €500m 0.625% notes due 2025
  • €500m 1.625% notes due 2030
  • €500m 2.000% Green notes due 2034

The issuance includes Logicor’s inaugural Green Bond due in 2034. An amount equal to the net proceeds from this bond will be allocated to eligible projects in accordance with Logicor’s Green Financing Framework. Eligible projects include green buildings, renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation and sustainable water and wastewater management.

Proceeds from the 2025 and 2030 notes will be used for general corporate purposes, including redemption of existing notes due in November 2022.

We are very pleased with the success of our latest issuance, which was nearly 2.5 times over-subscribed, reflecting the continued strong demand for Logicor’s corporate debt from new and existing investors. Issuing our first Green Bond underlines our commitment to sustainability across our business and operations and strongly supports our five-year ESG plan. This issuance will extend Logicor’s debt maturity profile and increase medium term financial flexibility whilst preserving the benefits of our efficient fixed-rate financing, with a predominantly unsecured debt structure."
