Key take aways
•
Non rated bond transactions generated access to a broad spectrum of new investor types
•
Oversubscription of orderbooks (NRB I ~8x, NRB II ~5.5x and NRB III ~4.5x) and secondary market
performance underline HT’s positive standing in debt capital markets
•
Optimization of reoffer spreads and fees from transaction to transaction
•
FAQ during roadshows and investor calls “Why is HOCHTIEF not rated” did investors not prevent
from placing orders during bookbuildings
•
Roadshows were an important marketing tool and helped to create positive momentum in the
orderbooks
•
As HOCHTIEF is not a frequent issuer the absence of an external rating did not negatively affect
the executed bond transactions
•
Strong name recognition, conservative financial policy and sustained profitable growth enabled
HOCHTIEF to successfully tap debt capital markets within the last the three years
•
Although rated corporates (especially investment grade segment) have access to a higher degree
of liquidity, tighter pricing conditions and maturities at the longer end of the curve HOCHTIEF sees
currently no need to start an external rating process

Ring-Fencing HOCHTIEF
• Ring-Fencing constitutes a central part in every contract of HOCHTIEF‘s strategic and long term
funding tools
• Inclusion of Ring-Fencing in the following documentations:
-
EUR 2 bn syndicated guarantee and credit facility, maturing April 2019
-
Every existing promissory note, outstanding volume approx. EUR 89 mn,
longest maturity December 2016
-
Non Rated Bond I with a notional of EUR 500 mn (maturity March 2017), Non Rated Bond II
with a notional of EUR 750 mn (maturity March 2020) and Non Rated Bond III with a notional of
EUR 500 mn (maturity May 2019)
• Basic idea of this “protection clause“:
Preservation and protection of HOCHTIEF‘s creditworthiness by prohibition of
certain transactions with Significant Shareholders (e.g. provide any loans, enter
into a merger and asset disposals) and certain limitations regarding the payment
of dividends
• Consistent definition of Significant Shareholder:
Significant Shareholder means each company of the ACS Group if companies of the ACS
Group hold at least 30% of the voting rights in HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft
• Legal consequences of a possible breach:
-
Each Holder has an exceptional right to terminate
-
Each Holder can demand immediate repayment of the amount of principal plus
any accumulated interest
