Clifford Chance Advised HLD Europe On Its Second 6-Year Public Bond Issue Of €300 Million

Clifford Chance advised HLD Europe on its second 6-year public bond issuance of €300 million, maturing in 2032 with a coupon of 4.250%. The issuance follows HLD Europe’s earlier bond offering in March 2025 and witnessed strong investor demand, being oversubscribed more than five times by a diverse base of institutional investors. The bond issue was led by BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole CIB and Société Générale as Global Coordinators and Active Bookrunners, BIL and Bred as Passive Bookrunners.

The success of the operation reflects market confidence in HLD Europe’s strategy and robust financial structure. It provides HLD Europe with an additional source of funding, enhancing the group’s agility to support its portfolio companies and to accelerate its growth.

The HLD Europe team was composed of Jean-Bernard Lafonta (Founding Partner), Cédric Chateau (Partner and Chairman of the Investment Committee), Pauline de Williencourt (Head of Financing) and Constance Laneque (Administrateur Délégué Général).

Clifford Chance advised HLD Europe with a team in Paris comprising Pierre-Benoit Pabot du Châtelard (Partner, Paris), Auriane Bijon (Counsel), as well as Quentin Hervé (Avocat), Batoul Laanani (Avocat) and Sabrine Kadi (Associates).
