In the autumn of 2017, Ovako elected to issue senior secured notes in the amount of EUR 310m to refinance existing bonds. There was huge interest in the offer and it was quickly oversubscribed, giving Ovako access to financing at substantially lower cost levels than previously. The transaction also successfully introduced a Special Redemption feature, giving Ovako the opportunity to adjust their financing structure at a reasonable cost if the company is sold or listed. Carnegie acted as joint bookrunner in the transaction. 6 CARNEGIE HOLDING AB | Annual Report 2017 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE “Carnegie is continuing to strengthen its long-term competitive advantage.” We are building trust for the long term Carnegie’s favourable progress in recent years has generated high client trust, stronger profit- ability and good financial stability, creating the conditions
