Ipsos successfully completes a bond
issuance of €400 million
Paris, 15 January 2025 –
Ipsos, one of the world’s leading market research
companies, announces the successful issuance of its first rated
bond for €400 million. The bond is maturing in January 2030 and
carrying a coupon of 3.75%. Ipsos is rated Baa3 with stable outlook
by Moody’s and BBB with stable outlook by Fitch.
The very strong investor demand, with an
orderbook covering more than 9 times the size of the bond, is a
testament to their confidence in Ipsos’ business model and credit
profile. This substantial level of oversubscription allowed Ipsos
to price the bond with a final spread significantly below initial
price indication.
The proceeds will be used for general corporate
purposes, including the refinancing of its €300 million existing
bond maturing in September 2025.
