Castellum issues Green Bonds

Castellum AB (publ) has carried out an inaugural offering of Green MTN Bonds.
The bond issue amounts to SEKm 1,000, in the form of bonds with a 5-year
duration. The issue was carried out partly as a fixed-rate bond for a nominal
SEKm 350, with an annual coupon interest of 1.875%, and partly as an FRN-bond
for a nominal SEKm 650, with floating interest rate corresponding to the 3-month
STIBOR-rate + 1.95%.
The issue amount is to be allocated in compliance with the Castellum AB Green
Bond Framework, which was publically available via Castellum’s website
(www.castellum.se) at the time of the emission. Particular demands are placed on
Castellum regarding financing objectives, selection of projects and financing
assets, allocation of net proceeds and documentation of decisions, as well as
for continuous reporting and transparency.
The bonds were issued within Castellum’s existing MTN-program and will be listed
on Nasdaq Stockholm. Handelsbanken has acted as advisor to activities for
creating Castellum’s Green Bond Framework, and the bank will also carry out the
offering.
Castellum currently holds the greatest number of environmentally certified
properties in Sweden, and a selection of these will be financed by the new bond
emission.
The company’s widespread sustainability activities have attracted regular
notice. In September 2016, Castellum was the only Nordic real estate firm (and
one of seven Swedish companies in any industry) chosen to join the Dow Jones
Sustainability Index (DJSI). The index represents global corporations that have
performed best within the field of sustainability. The general aim of the DJSI
is to guide investors towards sustainable investments.
Castellum has also recently received two international sustainability awards.
These include the Global Sector Leader distinction, awarded by the GRESB (Global
Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark), an organization that works toward
strengthening and guiding investors through assessing the global real estate
sector. Castellum also received an EPRA Gold award, for sustainability reporting
from the EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association). EPRA seeks to improve
standards and transparency within the real estate sector – primarily to promote
enhanced investor security.
“Castellum has high ambitions within the field of Sustainability – and it’s
pleasing to note significant investor interest in contributing to our long-term
sustainability efforts”, comments Ulrika Danielsson, Castellum CFO.
