Bond investors acknowledge AccorHotels’ new business model with two vastly oversubscribed bond issues for EUR1.1bn

Today AccorHotels successfully placed two bond issues for an amount of EUR1.1bn:
 A EUR500m perpetual hybrid bond issue with a 4.375% coupon

and attractive risk profile.

significantly extend its debt maturity, while optimizing its cost of debt, and
consolidating its Investment Grade status.

coupon until that date. The securities will rank junior to all senior debt and they will
be recognized as equity, in accordance with IFRS standards. They will be assigned
“intermediate” equity content by Standard & Poors and Fitch, i.e. with 50% of the
securities being accounted as equity.
