Spain’s Colonial plans €1bn bond
Spanish property company Colonial is planning to refinance €1.04bn of bank debt with a bond issue. Once the country's second-biggest property company, Colonial ran into severe trouble when Spain's property market crashed in 2008. A restructuring last year finally righted balance sheet with a new €1.04bn syndicated loan and a €1.26bn share issue. The bond issue, which Standard & Poor's has given a preliminary rating of BBB, will repay the syndicated loan. which carries a spread of 400 basis points over Euribor and matured in December 2018.
