Oblis reveals to you some operations in the pipeline in the primary bond market. Some of these can be completed quickly. You will find the recently issued bonds in our selection.
VESTAS WIND SYSTEMS - According to Bloomberg, the Danish Vestas, a specialist in wind turbines, wants to appeal to investors for a loan of one billion euros. The amount would be divided between two lines. More is not known at the moment. At the beginning of February, credit rating agency Moody's gave the Danish group a "Baa1" rating (investment grade) with a stable outlook.
REFRESCO - Will the Dutch bottler of non-alcoholic beverages enter the bond market? The question is legitimate now that the private equity fund PAI has left the control of Refresco (OTC:RFFRY) for 7 billion euros to another private equity fund, namely the American KKR (NYSE:KKR) (NYSE:{{41279|KKR} }). And it is known that such funds are in the habit of financing their acquisitions through debt securities and having the burden of it borne by the acquired firm. With 10,000 employees and a turnover of 4.2 billion euros in 2021, Refresco is the largest independent bottler in the world. The company works for distributors and major food groups such as Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) and Pepsi (NASDAQ:PEP).
VONOVIA - Vonovia (DE:VNAn) last week mandated several banks to arrange talks with investors to propose their new "sustainable" financing framework. The funds from future "sustainable" loans will be used in Germany, Austria and Sweden for investments in energy-efficient buildings and in renovation projects, the German real estate group clarified.
BELLRING BRANDS - It will no doubt be some time before we know the terms of the new loan from Bellring Brands LLC (NYSE:BRBR), a group primarily focused on protein drinks. The company had started placing a $840 million 10-year loan to fund its spin-off from Post Holdings. However, the operation was "delayed for several weeks due to unfavorable market conditions," the company said in a press release.
PEABODY CAPITAL - Private equity fund Peabody Capital is in the process of issuing a British pound bond with a maturity of 12 years. The new loan would be given "green bond" status. Peabody Capital has no operating activities of its own. It does invest in companies that have a competitive advantage in their market or industry, or have the potential to develop one.
