BEST: A successful bond issue





BEST S.A., a leading player in the debt management industry, concluded the subscription period for its Series AC1 bonds ahead of schedule due to overwhelming demand. The 5-year bonds, with a total offering of PLN 25 million, saw subscriptions amounting to PLN 135.8 million.
As a result, the company decided to close the subscription early, applying an 81.7% reduction to manage the excess demand.



BEST S.A. offered its investors 250,000 series AC1 bonds with a nominal value of PLN 100 each. The bonds will feature quarterly coupon payments and are set to mature on August 7, 2029. The interest rate for the bonds, which is based on WIBOR 3M plus a 4.5% margin, will be 10.36% for the first interest period.The bonds will be listed on the Catalyst market.

– The success of our bond issue validates BEST S.A.’s strategy of rapid growth. As previously stated, we will allocate the funds raised to acquire portfolios in Poland and Italy. Meanwhile, our financial results continue to improve. We greatly value the strong interest from investors and, in response, plan to offer another bond issue in the near future, announced Krzysztof Borusowski, President of the Management Board of BEST.

The series AC1 bond offering is part of a public bond issue programme with an aggregate nominal value of up to PLN 250 million carried out by BEST under a base prospectus approved by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority on 28 June 2024, including any supplements and update notices, and the final terms and conditions of the series AC1 issue.
