Clariant successfully returns to the Eurobond market with EUR 500m placement

Niederer Kraft Frey advised Clariant on the oversubscribed placement of EUR 500 million in unsecured Eurobonds issued by its subsidiary Clariant International Financial Services (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l. and guaranteed by Clariant AG. The bonds carry a fixed annual coupon of 4.125% and will mature in January 2032, representing a 5.6-year tenor. The bonds will be listed on SIX Swiss Exchange and on the Open Market (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurter Stock Exchange. Settlement is expected on 12 June 2026.

The net proceeds from the issuance will be used for general corporate purposes, including but not limited for the purpose of potential refinancing of existing debt, in support of Clariant’s ongoing strategy execution.

Clariant is one of the world’s leading specialty chemical companies that contributes to value creation with innovative and sustainable solutions for customers from many industries.
