Eramet Group successfully places a EUR 125 million tap on its inaugural bond issue

Paris, May 13, 2014 - Eramet group announces today the successful placement with institutional investors of a tap to its non-rated bond issue maturing on November 6, 2020 with a 4.5% annual coupon, for an amount of EUR 125 million, increasing the total principal amount of this bond to EUR 525 million.

The pricing of this tap issue stands at 103.889%, implying a yield of 3.808%, 82 basis points lower than the inaugural bond issue with the same maturity.

The placement was jointly led by BNP Paribas, Natixis and Société Générale as active bookrunners.

On April 22, 2014, Eramet group also successfully completed the issuance of a EUR 50 million bond by way of a private placement ("Euro PP"). This issue with a particularly long maturity of 12 years carries a coupon of 5.29%.

Both operations reinforce the already strong liquidity of wp=1425]Eramet[/wp] group, and enable Eramet group, while taking advantage of attractive financing opportunities under favourable conditions, to further diversify its financing sources and extend the average maturity of its debt.
