Wallonne to start roadshow for euro-denominated sustainability bond

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., April 5 – Wallonne plans to price a euro-denominated intermediate- or long-dated sustainability bond, according to a market source.

The region mandated Belfius, BNP Paribas, HSBC, LBBW and Natixis as joint lead managers for the inaugural benchmark bond.

The lead managers will begin a series of investor meetings in preparation for the Regulation S transaction. The new issue will follow, subject to market conditions.

The bond will be issued off the region’s euro medium-term note program.

FCA/ICMA stabilization applies.

Bond proceeds will finance or refinance green and social eligible expenditures within the region’s sustainability bond framework. BNP Paribas and Natixis are acting as structuring advisers on the framework.
