CHEPLAPHARM Arzneimittel GmbH ("CHEPLAPHARM"), a leading international pharmaceutical platform for established branded medicines, announces the successful placement of €950m of senior secured notes at an interest rate of 6.750%. The proceeds from the new notes will be used for the early redemption in full of two outstanding tranches of a bond maturing in 2028 totaling around €750m and for the partial repayment of a Term Loan B maturing in 2029. The transaction increases CHEPLAPHARM's financial flexibility and enables it to extend its maturity profile at attractive conditions.
The new bond met with high investor demand and was multiple times oversubscribed, enabling CHEPLAPHARM to increase the volume from originally planned €750m to €950m, while simultaneously reducing the coupon to 6.750%.
“In 2025, we made significant progress with our transformation program and noticeably stabilized our business development, thereby laying the foundation for this successful refinancing”, says Sebastian Braun, Co-CEO of CHEPLAPHARM. “The high demand for our new bond demonstrates the great confidence investors have in the path we have chosen. Now we must continue to consistently implement our transformation program and prepare CHEPLAPHARM for the next phase of growth.”
"I am very pleased about this successful capital market transaction, which allows us to redeem several outstanding tranches of a bond early and to extend our maturity profile on attractive terms", says Dr. Kia Parssanedjad, CFO of CHEPLAPHARM.
“Our new bond was multiple times oversubscribed, which enabled us to increase the volume by €200m, while simultaneously achieving a coupon of 6.750%. On behalf of the entire Management Board, I would like to once again express my sincere thanks to our existing and new investors for their support and trust.”
The new senior secured EUR notes mature in 2032. The Notes shall be issued on February 9, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Citigroup and Deutsche Bank acted as Joint Global Coordinators and Bookrunners in the transaction. Joint Bookrunners were Barclays, BofA Securities, Commerzbank, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, ING, UBS Investment Bank, and UniCredit. On the legal side, CHEPLAPHARM was advised by Latham & Watkins, while Freshfields LLP was mandated as legal advisor to the banks.
