Quote from Cibus' CEO, Christian Fredrixon:
"Stable cash flows and cash earnings per share is our focus at Cibus. In line with that strategy, earlier this week we announced our intention of well in advance replacing all our outstanding bonds maturing in December 2024 and during 2025 with new, longer bonds. I am pleased to announce that Cibus have today issued a new green 3.5 year SEK and a new green 4 year EUR bond at attractive price levels. Cibus attracted great interest from existing as well as new investors for the issue and we have thereby prolonged the maturity of the bonds in question from 1.4 years to 3.8 years, on average extending maturity by 2.4 years, and have at the same time managed to lower the average weighted interest margin by a full 2.31%-points.
The fact that we can replace our outstanding Dec-25 bond at call with a new green bond further demonstrates our focus on ESG-aspects of our business and I am happy that the bond investor community has supported us in these ESG-efforts. We are very pleased for the backing of current investors participating also in the new bonds and we are happy to welcome all our new investors aboard."
