Linde launches dual tranche bond transaction of EUR 650 m and USD 500 m

Corporate News

Munich, 10 April 2013 – Linde AG (A stable/A3 stable) has today successfully placed EUR 650 m and USD 500 m of senior notes with respectively 10-year and 5-year maturities. The euro denominated bond, with a coupon of 2.00 %, was priced at 45 basis points over Euro-MidSwaps. The USD bond bears a coupon of 1.50 % and was priced at 67 basis points over USD-MidSwaps.

Both transactions were issued under the EUR 10bn EMTN programme and met huge demand from high quality institutional investors as well as retail intermediaries. The proceeds from the transaction will be used to repay the remaining part of the syndicated loan that Linde arranged to finance the acquisition of US homecare company Lincare Inc.

"This marks the successful conclusion of our refinancing of the Lincare acquisition in the international capital markets," said Georg Denoke, member of the Executive Board and CFO of Linde AG. "Our excellent reputation among a wide range of investors and the beneficial general market environment allowed us to secure financing under extremely attractive conditions."
