OMA announces placement of Ps.3.2 billion |
Mexico City, Mexico, March 8, 2023.- Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: OMA, NASDAQ: OMAB), announces the placement of long-term sustainability-linked notes in the Mexican market for an aggregate amount of Ps.3.2 billion (“the Issuances”).
The Issuances were widely accepted, with “Afores”, investment funds and insurance companies participating. Demand of both tranches was 3.4x.
The Issuances are the following:
| 1. | Ps.640 million in 3.4-year Notes (ticker: OMA 23L) at a variable rate of TIIE 28 + 22 basis points. The Notes will pay interests every 28 days, and principal amount will be paid at maturity on July 24, 2026. |
| 2. | Ps.2,560 million in 7-year Notes (ticker: OMA 23-2L) at a fixed rate of 10.26%. The Notes will pay interest every 182 days, and principal amount will be paid at maturity on March 1, 2030. |
The Issuances received the highest ratings in Mexico of AAA.mx by Moody’s and AAA(mex) by Fitch on a national scale.
These issuances are aligned to the Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework published by OMA during 2022, which is available on: https://ir.oma.aero/en/debt-profile/.
Book building was held today and the settlement will be on March 10, 2023. Proceeds from the Issuances will be used to pay the Ps.1.5 billion Notes (ticker: OMA13), to prepay Ps.1.2 billion of short-term loans and the remaining for general corporate purposes, including the execution of possible investments.
