Intrum Seeks €525 Million in 2031 Secured Bonds as It Returns to Europe’s Junk Market

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 6

Summary

  • €525 million is the target for Intrum AB’s new senior secured bond sale, marking its first return to Europe’s high-yield market since a restructuring triggered by surging financing costs.
  • 2031 is the maturity on the proposed bonds, and Intrum said the proceeds will redeem its euro- and Swedish-krona senior secured notes due in 2027.
  • Deutsche Bank and DNB Carnegie are running the deal, which follows an equity raise as the Swedish debt collector tries to refinance and extend its debt profile.
