Klea Holding launches a Credit-Linked Note (CLN), the first of its kind among French small caps 

Paris, August 23, 2024

KLEA HOLDING (FR0013481835 – ALKLH), a group focused on the acquisition, development, and digitalization of companies across multiple sectors, announces the launch of its first CLN (CreditLinked Note) and becomes a pioneer among French small caps to access this type of financing.

This new source of funding, in addition to the Group’s cash position of €2.5m as of 31/7/24, will be used to refinance the company’s existing debt (bond raised in August 2022 through Equisafe^[1]) and to support the company’s growth and expansion across the Middle East and France. 

The two-year Note offers an annual coupon of 12.0% throughout the investment with capital being returned to investors at maturity. The Note embeds a one-year extension option at the discretion of the issuer. 

Subscriptions from investors have started and commercial terms of Klea Holding’s CLN are as follows:

•       Maturity: 31 July 2026 (with a one-year extension option)

•       Currency: EUR denominated

•       Coupon: 12.0% p.a. (paid semi-annually)

•       ISIN: CH1338343135

Clement Pacaud, CEO of Klea Holding, said: “We are extremely proud to launch this CreditLinked Note, the first ever launched by a company listed on Euronext Growth in Paris. With this new financing in place, Klea demonstrates once again its ability to secure funding from various sources and without dilution for shareholders. Being able to secure long-term funding from institutional investors is above all a testimony of the company’s positive trajectory. “
