Clariant has made a decisive return to the European debt markets, successfully placing €500 million in unsecured Eurobonds through its subsidiary Clariant International Financial Services (Luxembourg), guaranteed by Clariant AG.

 

The move marks a key financing milestone for the sustainability-focused specialty chemicals company, signaling renewed access to capital markets and robust investor appetite for its credit profile.

 

The bonds carry a fixed annual coupon of 4.125% and mature in January 2032, giving a 5.6-year tenor. They will be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and the Open Market (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, with settlement expected on June 12, 2026.

 

Demand for the issuance was strong and broad-based. Institutional investors across Europe drove an order book that was significantly oversubscribed, underscoring confidence in Clariant’s financial strength and strategic direction.

 

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including potential refinancing of existing debt, as Clariant continues executing its long-term strategy.

 

Oliver Rittgen, Chief Financial Officer of Clariant, commented: "Our successful return to the Euro bond market is a strong signal of investor confidence in Clariant's strategy and financial trajectory. This placement allows us to further diversify our funding instruments. 

 

"By broadening our access to capital markets, we are reinforcing the financial foundation that supports our medium-term targets and our long-term ambition to deliver sustainable, profitable growth for all our stakeholders."

 

The transaction was arranged with BofA Securities, Citigroup, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, and Santander acting as joint bookrunners.
