Edf: Exercise of Redemption of Perpetual Subordinated Notes
Exercise of Redemption of Perpetual
Subordinated Notes
Capitalized terms used in this press release
shall have the meaning given to them in the Final Offering
Memorandum dated 2 October 2018 relating to the Notes issued on 4
October 2018.
On 5 June 2024: EDF (BBB stable
S&P / Baa1 stable Moody’s / BBB+ stable Fitch) announces its
intention to exercise its Option to Redeem the hybrid Notes issued
on 4 October 2018 for a nominal amount of €1,250 million euros
(ISIN FR0013367612).
These Notes will be Redeemed on 5 July 2024,
Early Redemption Date, as set out in the Terms and Conditions of
the Notes included in the Prospectus.
The share capital of EDF has been increased on
24 May 2023 and 13 June 2023 by the conversion of 130,864,943 EDF
OCEANES (ISIN FR0013534518) into 168,684,911 new shares for a
nominal amount of €84,342,455.50 and a premium for the conversion
of €1,346,011,365.17 (1).
-
EDF will use the equity content resulting from this capital
increase to avoid having to refinance half of the nominal amount of
the hybrid subordinated debt issued on 4 October 2018, i.e. 625
million euros by another hybrid subordinated debt.
-
In addition, if the Option to Redeem the hybrid subordinated debt
issued on 25 January 2013 for a nominal amount of 1,250 million
euros (ISIN FR0011401751) is exercised, when times come, EDF could
use the equity content arising from this capital increase for half
of its nominal amount, i.e. 625 million euros or refinance it by
another hybrid subordinated debt.
-
Equity content from the conversion of OCEANES will not be used to
refinance any other hybrid subordinated debt.
Forward-Looking Statements:EDF considers
portions of this announcement to be a forward-looking statement.
Forward-looking statements can be identified typically by the use
of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”,
“may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “intends”, “estimates”, “plans”,
“assumes”, “predicts” or “anticipates”, as well as the negatives of
such words and other words of similar meaning in connection with
discussions of future operating or financial performance or of
strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Although EDF
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made,
these assumptions are inherently uncertain and involve a number of
risks and uncertainties that are beyond EDF’s control; therefore,
EDF can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved.
Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may
differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including,
without limitation, possible changes in the timing and consummation
of the transactions described therein. You are cautioned not to
place any undue reliance on the forward-looking statements
contained in this announcement, which speak only as at their
respective dates. Neither EDF nor any of its affiliates undertakes
any obligation publicly to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise except as required by any applicable laws and
regulations.
