Logistea AB (publ) ("Logistea" or the "Company") has mandated DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, Nordea Bank Abp, SpareBank 1 Markets AS and Swedbank AB (publ) to act as joint bookrunners to evaluate the conditions for issuing senior unsecured green bonds in an expected amount of SEK 500 million under a total framework of SEK 1,000 million and with a contemplated maturity of 3.25 years (the "Green Bonds" and the "Green Bond Issue"). Subject to market conditions, a capital markets transaction may follow. The net proceeds from the Green Bonds are intended to be used in accordance with the principles set out in the Green Finance Framework, including to refinance the Existing Bonds (as defined below).
Logistea further announces that its indirect subsidiary, Logistea Properties AS, contemplates giving notice of a conditional early redemption of its senior secured bonds with ISIN NO0012955105 in the outstanding nominal amount of NOK 900 million (the “Existing Bonds”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Existing Bonds, which will be conditional upon a successful issue of the Green Bonds and certain other additional financing (the “Early Redemption”). In connection with the Green Bond Issue, Logistea Properties AS may offer voluntary buy-backs in the Existing Bonds.
In connection with the Green Bond Issue, the Company has launched a new Green Finance Framework where Swedbank AB (publ) has acted as the sole sustainability coordinator. The Green Finance Framework has received a second-party opinion from ISS Corporate, verifying its credibility, impact and alignment with the ICMA Green Bond Principles.
DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, Nordea Bank Abp, SpareBank 1 Markets AS and Swedbank AB (publ) act as joint bookrunners in connection with the Green Bond Issue. Advokatfirman Cederquist KB is acting as legal counsel in connection with the Green Bond Issue.
