Issued off its EMTN Programme and with settlement deferred to March 2022, the 20 year bonds are priced with a fixed coupon of 4.25%. This will help remove any market risk of what is undoubtedly going to be a volatile period.

Dean Tufts, A2Dominion’s Executive Director (Finance & Strategy), said: “We were very pleased to secure this long-term funding which further demonstrates the prudent financial strategy we have in place. The certainty of this funding will enable us to continue our focus to deliver high quality homes and invest in local communities.”

Newbridge Advisors arranged the funding which is being provided by BAE Systems Pension Fund. The transaction is designed to minimise any refinancing risks in relation to A2Dominion’s £150m retail bond (at a coupon of 4.75%) maturing in October 2022, whilst avoiding any associated cost of carry.
