New Issue: Amara Nzero prices €270 million five-year secured green notes at par to yield 10¼%

By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., July 6 – Amara Nzero priced a €270 million issue of Green Bidco five-year senior secured green notes (B/B+) at par to yield 10¼% on Thursday, according to a market source.

The yield printed in the middle of yield talk in the 10¼% area.

Joint global coordinator and joint physical bookrunner Goldman Sachs will bill and deliver. UBS was also a global coordinator and physical bookrunner. Deutsche Bank was a joint bookrunner.

Proceeds will be used to fund Cinven’s acquisition of a majority stake in Amara Nzero, a Madrid-based B2B distributor of products and services used in the energy transition space.

The transaction was undertaken in alignment with Amara’s green bond framework, a source said.
