Corporate Update: UBM Development AG Secures €58 Million Green Bond for Sustainable Expansion
UBM Development AG has announced the successful issuance of a new green bond, raising a total of €58 million. The instrument carries a 7 % coupon and matures in 2031, providing the company with a stable, long‑term financing structure to support its growing portfolio of environmentally responsible projects.
Funding Structure
The bond issuance was partially underpinned by an early‑closure subscription that contributed €40 million. The remaining €18 million was secured by exchanging a portion of the company’s existing 2023‑2027 bonds. With a conversion rate of 36 %, this swap reduced the outstanding debt due in 2027 to approximately €32 million, thereby consolidating UBM’s balance sheet and extending its repayment horizon.
Allocation of Proceeds
All proceeds are earmarked for the refinancing of eligible projects, with a particular focus on expanding the firm’s affordable housing pipeline. By allocating capital to these projects, UBM aims to strengthen its market position in the socially responsible real‑estate sector while aligning with European Union green finance standards.
Market Reception
The bond will be listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange’s Prime Market and is also available for trading in the Frankfurt and Luxembourg markets. UBM’s finance chief noted sustained interest from international investors, especially from Eastern Europe. This support is expected to smooth the company’s repayment schedule until the next major instalment in October 2029.
