Having had its first taste last year, A.P. Moller-Maersk (“APM”) returned to the public bond market a couple of weeks ago, issuing EUR 500 million of 7-year bonds with a coupon of 4.375%. The net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. Unsurprisingly, investor interest was strong with the bonds being more than three times oversubscribed. As a point of comparison, last year’s issue of EUR 750 million 5-year bonds carried a coupon of 4.875%. Placed by Barclays Capital, BNP Paribas, Danske Bank, HSBC and RBS, the bonds will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
