Euro Medium Term Notes Programme
Genoa, 18 July 2023 - ERG S.p.A. today finalised the renewal of the Euro Medium Term Notes Programme (“EMTN Programme”) for a maximum total amount of Euro 3,000 million (of which Euro 1,600 million already issued), following the approval on 12 July 2023 by the Board of Directors.
Also today, the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) approved the base prospectus of the EMTN Programme in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 ("Prospectus Regulation").
The EMTN Programme, with a duration of one year and renewable upon expiration, provides for the possibility of issuing one or more non-convertible bonds – even as green bonds – that may be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, to be placed with qualified investors operating in Europe.
The renewal of the EMTN Programme will allow ERG to continue to benefit from the flexibility offered by this instrument in the event of future bond issues.
The Board of Directors has postponed to subsequent resolutions the approval of individual bond issues under the EMTN Programme, as well as the definition of terms, tenor and conditions.
The EMTN Programme prospectus is available on ERG’s website (www.erg.eu).
