L'importo dell'Offerta è stato incrementato da 1.400.000.000 euro a 2.800.000.000 euro a seguito della forte domanda ricevuta da parte degli investitori. Inoltre, il coupon medio ponderato dell’Offerta è al di sotto del costo medio ponderato del debito di FiberCop. La chiusura del collocamento delle Obbligazioni è prevista per il 27 giugno 2025, subordinatamente alle consuete closing conditions. E’ atteso che le Obbligazioni siano quotate sull’Official List del Luxembourg Stock Exchange e negoziate su Euro MTF Market.
Il Chief Financial Officer di FiberCop André Rogowski ha commentato “Siamo soddisfatti del forte sostegno dimostrato dal mercato nel riconoscere la forza del nostro business e della nostra missione. Il capitale raccolto sosterrà l’esecuzione del nostro programma di digitalizzazione dell'Italia nei tempi previsti, attraverso l'accesso alla banda larga ad alta capacità. Inoltre, la qualità del nostro merito creditizio è stata riconosciuta anche da tutte e tre le agenzie di rating, che la scorsa settimana hanno confermato i loro giudizi, alla luce dell’accelerazione del programma di investimenti di FiberCop.”
È atteso che i proventi dell’Offerta siano destinati ad alimentare la liquidità dell'Emittente strumentale alla propria attività d’impresa che potrà includere investimenti e il possibile rifinanziamento del debito esistente, nonché per pagare eventuali commissioni e spese connesse all’Offerta.
La presente non è da intendersi quale garanzia dell’effettivo completamento dell’Offerta e delle altre operazioni descritte.
