Siemens issues bonds totaling US$10 billion

With an issue volume of US$10 billion, Siemens has executed its largest bond issuance to date. In addition, this issuance is the second-largest U.S. dollar financing measure by a German company since the year 2000. The price was set on March 2, 2021, and the transaction closed today. The fixed-rate bonds have maturities of two, three, five, seven, ten and twenty years. In addition, there is a variable-rate tranche with a maturity of three years. Here, Siemens has become the first German company to use the new secured overnight financing rate. The bonds are to be used to finance Siemens Healthineers’ acquisition of Varian, a move that was announced in August 2020.
At the time when the price was set, investor demand exceeded US$25 billion. Across all maturities, Siemens secured its lowest interest-rate costs yet for U.S. dollar bonds.
“Despite the already high level of issuing activity on the market, there was strong demand for our bonds. In addition, we secured outstanding conditions. These two factors are a testament to the trust that the investors place in Siemens,” said Ralf P. Thomas, Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG.
