GLANBIA CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY LIMITED - SUCCESSFULLY PRICED AND
PLACED FIVE YEAR EXCHANGEABLE BOND LINKED TO GLANBIA PLC SHARES
2(nd) June 2016
Glanbia plc,("Glanbia") the global nutrition group, has been
informed by its largest shareholder, Glanbia Co-operative Society
Limited (the "Society") that it has raised EUR100 million by the
placement today of a five year exchangeable bond (the "Bond")
linked to a pledge of approximately 4.3 million Glanbia shares
which the Society owns.
In total the Society and its subsidiaries hold 108,014,900
ordinary shares in Glanbia.
The initial exchange price of the Bond was set at EUR 23.26,
representing a premium of 40% to the volume weighted average price
of Glanbia shares on the Irish Stock Exchange between launch and
pricing earlier today.
The number of issued shares in Glanbia plc will not change as a
result of this Bond placement.
The Society intends to use the majority of the proceeds from the
Bond for the creation of a dynamic market volatility fund for its
milk and grain supplying members (the "Members"). This fund will
enable participating Members to draw down funds on an interest free
basis when the market price for milk and grain falls below specific
levels. The Society will recover the funds drawn down when milk and
grain prices exceed a higher price trigger. The remaining proceeds
will be used for general business purposes.
Settlement of the Bond is expected to take place on or about 9
June 2016. The Society will be subject to a lock-up ending 90 days
after the settlement Date.
For further information on the terms of the Bond refer to the
announcements issued by the Society earlier today.
