ATOUT CAPITAL advised SCBSM for the structuring of its bond issue of €28m, maturing at 5 years at an interest rate of 5.25% comprising two tranches involving a private placement for institutional investors from France and from Europe. The private placement was managed by Compagnie Financière Jacques Coeur (Leader) and Invest Securities (Co-leader). This bond issue allowed SCBSM to extend the maturity of its debt and to reduce its average cost by the early repayment of its public borrowing, raised in December 2010.
