“By successfully issuing the new Bond in this challenging 2020, we can say that, according to the realised terms and the expressed interest, we are extremely pleased because of the strong trust that the overall investment community has repeatedly shown to Atlantic Grupa. We are especially proud of a historically low interest rate on corporate bonds in the non-financial sector achieved on the Croatian capital market. This is a strong indicator that investors recognised the business model of Atlantic Grupa as stable and low-risk in the situation of this economic-health crisis and uncertainty regarding further development and consequences of the pandemic. The diversification of investors we have seen in this issue indicates the undeniable development of the domestic corporate bond market, as well as of the capital market as a whole. The success of this issue is additionally confirmed by a significantly higher interest of investors compared to the total amount of the issue, of which we are very satisfied. Although not of material importance, it should be noted that, due to specific circumstances, the coordination of this issue was conducted fully online, and, in cooperation with Joint Agents and the legal counsel, we managed to perform the transaction within a short period of time while achieving financial objectives”, commented the Group Vice President for Finance, Procurement and Investment, Zoran Stanković.
