"The acquisition of one billion euros in one bond transaction is a new milestone for CPIPG. We are really grateful to the investors for their constant support," said the group's CFO David Greenbaum.
The proceeds from the bonds will be used to cover the general needs of the group and to repay previously issued senior unsecured and hybrid bonds in the total amount exceeding EUR 750 million. The CPIPG is duly proud of its repeatedly demonstrated ability to repay its liabilities early and intends to maintain a proactive approach to managing the maturity profile of its liabilities in the future.

The combination of the offer of new and the repurchase of previously issued bonds has a positive impact on the group's credit indicators and provides it with the flexibility needed for further growth at a time when the world is gradually recovering from the covid-19 pandemic. As a result of the last transaction, only about 15% of the group's total funding is due in the next three years and only 40% in the next five years.
