Goldstory S.A.S. (“Goldstory” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Group”) announced today the pricing of its €350 million aggregate principal amount of sustainability-linked senior secured notes due 2030, at three-month EURIBOR (subject to a 0% floor) plus 400 basis points per annum (the “Floating Rate Notes”) and its €500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% sustainability-linked senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Fixed Rate Notes” and, together with the Floating Rate Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued at 100% of their nominal value.
Goldstory intends to use the proceeds of the Notes to (i) satisfy and discharge and subsequently redeem in full Goldstory’s senior secured notes due 2026, including paying accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, (ii) fund a distribution to the Group’s shareholders and (iii) pay all fees and expenses related to the transactions.
