Kiloutou successfully completes €200 million bond issue

Backed by its majority shareholders (Dentressangle and the HLD Group), Kiloutou has just successfully placed an additional €200 million in senior secured bonds maturing in 2031. This transaction, which was significantly oversubscribed, enabled an above-par issue, with a price set at 100.5%. It demonstrates the strength of Kiloutou's business model, which is expected to end the year with revenue of close to €1.3 billion, as well as market confidence in its growth trajectory. The funds raised will be used to reduce the Group's financing costs by repaying outstanding bonds, refinancing its recent acquisitions, and supporting its growth, particularly through an active M&A pipeline. Congratulations to the Kiloutou teams (in particular Olivier Colleau and Jan-Luc Ambre) for this transaction, which was carried out with the support of the HLD teams (Jean Hubert Vial, Pauline de Williencourt, Maxence Gailliot, Geoffroy Desjeux, and Josselin Rafflegeau), and thank you to our partners (Paul Hastings, Patrick Bright, Adnane Ayeb, Latham, Roberto Luís Reyes Gaskin, Hana Ladhari, Credit Agricole CIB, Uzair Burney, Luca Brandi, Aimery Leroy, France Decroix, J.P. Morgan, Cedric Cosquer, Graham Holden, Georges Eid, and Juliette Decloitre) for their renewed trust.
