Adecco Group has issued CHF 225 million in notes for financial purposes.
The Addeco Group, a leading HR solutions company headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, has announced the issuance of CHF 225 million Senior Fixed-Rate 5.5-year Notes. This is the largest of the three CHF notes outstanding for the Group, after the CHF 125 million which matures in December 2020 and the CHF 100 million which matures in 2026.
The notes, issued within the framework of Addeco Group's Euro Medium-Term Note Programme, have a maturity date of 27 November 2025 and a settlement date of 27 May 2020. The issue price for the notes is 100.102%, and they carry a coupon of 0.875% per annum.
The Euro Medium-Term Note Programme is a common debt issuance framework that allows an issuer, such as Addeco Group, to issue notes to investors in series over time, often with various maturities and currencies. This flexibility helps the issuer manage financing needs efficiently by tapping the capital markets when conditions are favourable.
The senior status of the notes indicates they have priority over subordinated debt in case of liquidation. As a fixed-rate debt instrument, the issuer agrees to pay a specific interest rate until maturity. A 5.5-year maturity means the principal is due back after five and a half years from issuance. Issuing such notes in Swiss francs (CHF) suggests targeting investors in Switzerland or those seeking CHF-denominated assets to match currency exposure.
The proceeds from the note issuance will be used for general corporate purposes. It is worth noting that numerous factors could cause or contribute to differences in financial outcomes, including global GDP trends, changes in regulation of temporary work, intense competition, integration of acquired companies, changes in the company's ability to attract and retain qualified internal and external personnel or clients, the potential impact of disruptions related to IT, any adverse developments in existing commercial relationships, disputes or legal and tax proceedings.
