Olympia, Wash., March 30 – Compagnie de Saint-Gobain adjusted the amount of its new syndicated credit line to €2 billion from €2.5 billion following the launch of its €1.5 billion of bonds.

The bonds include a €750 million 1.75% three-year tranche and a €750 million 2.375% 7.5-year tranche, according to a press release.

With these two transactions, Saint-Gobain has secured €3.5 billion in new financing, compared to €2.5 billion as of March 23.
