LEMMINKÄINEN ISSUES EUR 70 MILLION HYBRID BOND

Lemminkäinen Corporation issues a EUR 70 million domestic hybrid bond. The coupon rate of the bond is 10 % per annum. The bond has no maturity but the company may exercise an early redemption option after four years. The hybrid bond issue will strengthen Lemminkäinen's capital structure and financial position.

A hybrid bond is an instrument which is subordinated to the company's other debt obligations and which is treated as equity in the IFRS financial statements. Hybrid bonds do not confer to their holders the right to vote at shareholder meetings and do not dilute the holdings of the current shareholders.

Nordea Markets acted as Coordinator and Nordea Markets and Pohjola Markets jointly as bookrunners in the transaction.
