The agreement provides for the issuance of €600 million in super-subordinated bonds by Dalkia International, to which its shareholders will subscribe in proportion to their direct interests in the capital, i.e. respectively €144 million for EDF and €456 million for Dalkia, financed by a long-term loan from Veolia Environnement.
This agreement will enable Dalkia International to meet its requirements, while making it possible to seek external financing under better conditions. This agreement confirms our shareholders' responsible commitment to their joint subsidiary and their confidence in Dalkia's growth prospects. Our energy services offerings are indeed a key lever of energy transition both in France and internationally.
