MLP Group has successfully closed its debut senior green notes offering, worth €300 million, demonstrating the strong confidence global investors have in the Company. Investor demand far exceeded expectations, resulting in the offering being multiple times oversubscribed. Citi and Santander Group acted as Global Coordinators and Physical Bookrunners for the issue.
The European logistics and industrial real estate platform successfully placed its first Eurobond offering in the international capital markets. All offered senior green notes were fully subscribed, with a total nominal value of €300 million, a coupon of 6.125 percent, and a maturity date in 2029. The company was supported by Santander Group as the Sole Ratings and ESG advisor.
“This is a landmark event in the history of MLP Group. We completed our first senior green notes offering in the international capital markets despite the geopolitical uncertainties currently impacting financial markets. This demonstrates the strong level of trust global investors have in our strategy, which focuses on the development of modern warehouses in key markets in Europe. We have the most modern warehouse portfolio on the European market, with around 60 percent of our projects completed in the past five years, and 90 percent of our total projects being less than 10 years old. The funds raised will allow us to accelerate growth, with a strong focus on urban logistics and data centre projects. We aim to be the developer of choice for tenants in key urban centres across Europe,” said Radosław T. Krochta, President of the Management Board of MLP Group.
“The offering attracted very strong interest from investors and was multiple times oversubscribed. The notes were ultimately allocated to around 125 investors, primarily large asset managers, as well as pension and insurance funds. The green notes will play a crucial role in funding our strategic investments. Proceeds will be used to finance projects that deliver measurable environmental benefits and support our contribution to achieving sustainability goals,” noted Monika Dobosz, CFO of MLP Group.
