Rémy Cointreau : €80 Million Private Bond Placement

Regulatory News:

On 27 February 2015, Rémy Cointreau S.A. ("Rémy Cointreau") (Paris:RCO) issued an €80 million bond via a private placement with a leading European insurance company.

These bonds bear an interest rate of 2.945% and carry a maturity of 10 years (27 February 2025), consistent with the Group's commitment to backing its long-term ageing assets with adequate financial resources.

The favourable funding terms of this facility (10-year rate +225bps) reflect the quality and financial strength of Rémy Cointreau (rated Baa3 by Moody’s and BB+ by Standard & Poor’s).

This transaction is set within the context of the redemption of an existing private placement — with a shorter maturity and a higher cost than that of the placement announced today —which will mature on 10 June 2015.

Natixis has been mandated by Rémy Cointreau to coordinate this transaction. BNP Paribas is the facility agent.
