New Issue: Salvepar prices €150 million 6.5-year convertibles to yield 1.625%, up 37.5%

By Rebecca Melvin

New York, May 12 – Salvepar SA priced €150 million of 6.5-year convertible bonds in the Ornane structure at par to yield 1.625% with an initial conversion premium of 37.5% on Tuesday, according to a news release.

Pricing of the Regulation S deal came at the cheap end of price talk, which was for a 1.125% to 1.625% coupon and a 37.5% to 42.5% initial conversion premium.

A €15 million increase option was exercised together with the €135 million base deal. BNP Paribas was the bookrunner for the offering.

The bonds are non-callable until Jan. 15, 2019 and then are provisionally callable if bonds exceed 130% of the conversion price for 20 trading days out of 40.

There is takeover protection. An application will be made for the bonds to be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris.

Salvepar is a Paris-based investment holding company.
