Tornator strengthens its investment capacity by issuing EUR 50 million of new senior secured green notes

Tornator Oyj (“Tornator”) has signed a new long-term debt arrangement with Finnish institutional investors. The new notes are issued under Tornator’s Green Finance Framework updated in April 2023, have a nominal amount of EUR 50 million, a fixed annual coupon of 4.972 % and maturity in 2031. These new notes are secured by certain forest properties owned by Tornator which form a dynamic security pool that secures also Tornator’s other secured indebtedness.

The net proceeds from the issue shall be allocated in accordance with Tornator’s new Green Finance Framework, primarily to acquisitions of double certified (FSC® and PEFC) forest assets.

“This new additional debt instrument supports Tornator’s growth strategy extremely well and increases the company’s investment capacity in lucrative forest asset acquisitions. It was very nice to notice Finnish investors’ high interest and commitment to financing Tornator and its investment needs. 8-year maturity is a very good addition to Tornator’s debt maturity profile and decreases the refinancing risk in the coming years”, comments Antti Siirtola, Tornator’s CFO.

OP Corporate Bank and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken acted as Joint Lead Managers for the issue.
