GF raised today CHF 200 million on the Swiss debt capital market. The new bond has a term of 9.5 years and carries a coupon of 0.95%.

The bond has been issued through the lead banks Credit Suisse and Zürcher Kantonalbank at a price of 100.375%. Through this emission, GF is taking advantage of the significant improvement of capital market conditions, which took place since April 2020. With the transaction, GF further expands its financial flexibility to pursue long-term strategic targets and to potentially repay existing bank loans.

The bond will be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and the payment day of the bond will be 25 September 2020.
