In order to finance the shareholding in the run-of-river power plant Ryburg-Schwörstadt, regional energy supplier AEW Energie AG successfully placed a fixed-interest CHF 125 million debut bond on the Swiss capital market as per 1st June 2022. The funding significantly contributes to the expansion of their own production in the field of sustainable regional power. The bond with a duration of 7 years has been issued with a coupon of 1.5% and the admission for the trading at the SIX Swiss Exchange starting on 29th June 2022 has been granted. The issuance of the debut bond at 22bp above SWAP is the excellent result of great work. With this transaction, AEW is setting a strong sign for the future and an important benchmark for the funding of sustainable energy investments.
IFBC supported the company as a financial advisor during the entire financing process, including the development of the financing concept, the negotiations with potential investors and finally the successful closing of the credit facilities and the bond issuance.
