issued perpetual subordinated bonds in the amount of EUR3
billion:
- EUR1.5 billion at 1.625% coupon for the tranche with a 7 year
first call date
- EUR1.5 billion at 2.125% coupon for the tranche with a 12 year
first call date
The proceeds from the bonds will be used to finance its
development strategy, mainly acquisitions, in renewables, in
particular EUR1.7 billion for the acquisition of a 20% interest in
Adani Green Energy Limited.
With a weighted average coupon of 1.875%, this issuance that was
very well received by investors will allow the Group to finance its
development in renewables at a reduced capital cost.
Jean-Pierre Sbraire, Chief Financial Officer at Total, said:
"These hybrid bonds provide a cost of capital comparable to that of
pure players in renewables and is therefore suited to finance
acquisitions in this business. These bonds will finance in a very
competitive way our development in renewables, which is at the
heart of our strategy to transform Total into a broad energy
company."
