Roquette Successfully Prices its
Hybrid Notes Issuance for an Amount of 600 million Euros
Lille, 16 April, 2026 - Roquette, a global leader of plant-based ingredients and pharmaceutical excipients for the health and nutrition sectors, successfully priced an issue of EUR 600 million perpetual hybrid subordinated notes with a fixed rate of 6% until the first reset date on 21 April 2032. The Notes are intended to be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris.
The Subordinated Notes are rated BB+ by S&P with an intermediate equity content of 50% up to the agency's 15% maximum criteria threshold. They are also treated as equity under IFRS and are an important part of Roquette's long-term financing strategy, strengthening the company's capital structure and financial flexibility.
The Notes offering was very well received by the market and largely oversubscribed, with a total final orderbook above EUR 2.8 billion (4.7 times oversubscribed). This outcome reflects strong investor confidence in the company's growth strategy and solid credit profile.
The net proceeds of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes.
Roquette was advised by Crédit Agricole CIB, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, Natixis and Societe Generale as Global Coordinators along with BNP Paribas, CIC CIB, and J.P. Morgan as Active Bookrunners, and by Clifford Chance and A&O Shearman as Legal Counsels.
