New Issue: Paprec prices €600 million of green senior secured notes in two parts

Chicago, Nov. 8 – Paprec Holding SA priced its €600 million offering of senior secured green notes (BB/BB+) on Wednesday, according to market sources.

The first of the equal-sized tranches, due Nov. 17, 2027, priced with a 6½% coupon at par, in line with the 6½% launch and at the tight end of the 6½% to 6 5/8% talk. Initial guidance was in the high-6% to 7% area.

The second €300 million tranche of notes due Nov. 17, 2029 priced with a 7¼% coupon at par, also in line with the 7¼% launch and at the tight end of the 7¼% to 7 3/8% talk. Initial guidance was in the low-to-mid 7% area.

The notes in both the four-year and six-year tranches become subject to initial calls after two years at par plus 50% of the respective coupons, then a stepdown to par plus 25% of the coupon. Before the coupon-based calls, they may be redeemed with a Bunds plus 50 basis points make-whole premium.

Joint active bookrunner Credit Agricole CIB handled billing and delivery. BNP Paribas is also a joint active bookrunner. Natixis was a joint global coordinator. Societe Generale was a joint bookrunner.

The Paris-based waste management company plans to use the proceeds to redeem €575 million of its senior secured notes due 2025 at par, with remaining proceeds to improve liquidity and support growth and financial needs.
