New Issue: Wallenstam sells SEK 400 million floating-rate green bond

By Lisa Kerner

Charlotte, N.C., May 20 – Wallenstam AB announced the issue of a two-year unsecured SEK 400 million green bond.

The bonds have a floating coupon of Stibor plus 95 basis points and will list on Nasdaq Stockholm, according to a news release.

Swedbank’s rating is BBB- on the bond loans.

DNV GL developed a framework for green bonds, based on the Green Bond Principles, to assess Wallenstam’s bonds.

“We are now issuing additional green bonds, where the proceeds from the bonds will be used to refinance wind turbines in our subsidiary Svensk NaturEnergi, which produces renewable energy,” said chief executive officer Hans Wallenstam.

Wallenstam, a Gothenburg, Sweden property company, has been self-sufficient in carbon-free energy from its wind farms and hydro power stations since the beginning of 2013.
