BOND ISSUE

On 18 November 2015, Groupe SEB successfully issued its second bond. The 7-year (maturing 25/11/2022), €500 million bond, bearing interest at a rate of 2.375%, was five times oversubscribed by a diversified investor base. This once again attests to the confidence of the financial community in the strategy and outlook of the Group.

The bonds have been admitted to trading on NYSE Euronext Paris. Joined lead managers for the issue were BNP Paribas, HSBC, Natixis and Société Générale.

This issue enables the Group to:

• Secure the refinancing of the 2011 bond ahead of its June 2016 maturity date;
• Extend the average maturity of its debt;
• Take advantage of attractive financing conditions.

Pour mémoire, le Groupe SEB bénéficie de la notation A2 par Standard & Poors pour sa dette court terme ; sa dette long terme n’est pas notée.
