Gimv successfully completes private placement of a bond for an amount of EUR 150 million

Gimv NV (hereinafter "Gimv") announces the successful completion of a private placement of bonds for an amount of EUR 150 million with a limited number of institutional investors. KBC Securities acted as Arranger and Sole Bookrunner for the transaction.

The bonds carry a fixed coupon of 5.532% and have a maturity of 8 years, maturing in October 2034.

This bond issuance broadens Gimv's financial headroom to continue investing, in line with the accelerated growth ambition set out in early 2025, across its four investment platforms (Consumer, Healthcare, Smart Industries and Sustainable Cities) and within Gimv Anchor Investments' long-term investment strategy. It contributes to the further diversification of Gimv's funding sources.

Koen Dejonckheere, CEO and Kristof Vande Capelle, CFO Gimv, declare: “Following the repayment of the EUR 75 million bond in July this year, this new long-term bond issue brings our total bond portfolio to EUR 425 million while significantly extending its average duration. Together with the increase in our revolving credit facility to EUR 400 million, announced earlier this year, this provides us with solid funding capacity to pursue our growth ambitions and support the continued growth of our portfolio companies. We thank the bond investors for their trust and KBC Securities for the support.”
