Buzzi Unicem SpA has resolved today the issue of Notes with principal amount up to €500 million and a minimum denomination of €100,000, to be placed with institutional investors only.
The final terms of the offering will be defined upon pricing, based on market conditions. Buzzi Unicem envisages to apply for listing of the notes, as well as the admission to trading, on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

Through the next issue the company aims at promptly renewing some borrowings coming to maturity, further diversifying its funding sources and extending the average debt maturity profile.
Banca IMI, BNP Paribas and Citi will act as Joint Lead Manager and Joint Bookrunner of the transaction.

The Notes will only be offered and sold outside the United States to institutional investors that are non-U.S. persons under Regulation S and have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any other securities laws. The Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or an offer of financial products, nor shall there be any sale of these Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer or sale would be unlawful.
