Atlantica announces pricing of the 4.125% $400 million green notes due 2028
May 13, 2021 – Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica,” NASDAQ: AY) has priced its offering of the $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of green senior notes due 2028 (the “Green Notes”), guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of
Atlantica. The Notes will accrue an annual interest of 4.125% payable semi-annually. The closing and disbursement of funds is expected to take place on May 18, 2021, subject to customary conditions.
Atlantica will use the proceeds to (i) fully prepay the Note Issuance Facility 2019, including principal of $331.9 million and accrued and unpaid interest and prepayment costs of $6.6 million; and (ii) finance
the acquisition of eligible assets which meet the eligibility criteria in accordance with Atlantica's Green Finance Framework. The Notes Issuance Facility 2019 being prepaid out of the proceeds of this Offering was originally used to refinance
indebtedness we had incurred to fund the acquisition of Eligible Assets in accordance with the Framework.
The Green Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the
Securities Act. The Green Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This notice is issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act, and does not constitute an offer to sell, nor a solicitation for an offer to purchase, the Green Notes.
The information contained herein is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in any jurisdiction where the distribution of such information is restricted by law, and does not constitute an offer to sell, or solicitation of an
offer to buy securities.
This notice and any other documents or materials relating to the issue of the Green Notes are for distribution within the United Kingdom only to persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within article
19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the “FSMA”) (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the “Financial Promotion Order”), (ii) are persons falling within article 49(2)(a) to (d) (“high net worth companies,
unincorporated associations, etc.”) of the Financial Promotion Order or (iii) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the FSMA) in connection with the issue of the Green
Notes may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as “Relevant Persons”). This notice and any other documents or materials relating to the issue of the Green Notes are directed only
at Relevant Persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not Relevant Persons. Any investment or investment activity to which this notice and any other documents or materials relating to the issue of the Green Notes relates is
