Kinepolis Group realizes a private placement of bonds for a total value of € 125 million

| Financial

5 December 2017

Kinepolis Group has successfully concluded a private placement of bonds with institutional investors amounting to € 125 million, of which € 60 million were placed with a maturity of 8 years and € 65 million with a maturity of 10 years. The market demand was significantly higher than the targeted amount of € 125 million, which demonstrates once again the confidence of the market regarding the strategy pursued by Kinepolis.

The placement fits in with Kinepolis' cautious financial strategy to finance its investments on the long term and, as such, ensure cash flow matching. The placement will be used to support the expansion of Kinepolis, with the acquisition of Landmark Cinemas Canada and the construction of new complexes in various countries, the renovation of acquired cinemas, investments in new experience concepts and other investments, such as future acquisitions.
