The proceeds from the issue will be used in accordance with Hemfosa's green bond framework, which entails financing or refinancing of so called green property and investments in energy efficiency. Green property comprise, inter alia, buildings with certificates such as Miljöbyggnad Silver, GreenBuilding and Passivhus, as well as buildings with an energy consumption which is 25 percent lower than national building requirements. Hemfosa intends to apply for listing of the new bond loan on Nasdaq Stockholm's Sustainable Bond List.
“We have maintained a high level of acquisition activity during the year and see good opportunities for Hemfosa to grow both through acquisitions and projects going forward. With an additional green bond loan we strengthen our financial capacity and flexibility with a financing form that fits well with Hemfosa’s business focus on community service properties”, says Caroline Arehult, CEO of Hemfosa.
Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken acted as sole bookrunner in connection with the issue. Cederquist has acted as legal advisor.
