KPN announces its intention to issue a dual-tranche Eurobond under its Global Medium Term Note programme. The proceeds from the new bond offering will be used to repurchase existing Eurobonds through a tender offer and for general corporate purposes.

KPN is targeting a maximum tender amount of EUR 750 million across seven series of Euro denominated senior unsecured bonds maturing between 2017 and 2024. Terms are set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum dated 30 August 2016 and can be obtained upon request from the Tender Agent.

The purpose of this transaction is to extend the average maturity of KPN’s outstanding debt liabilities and to further optimise its debt structure. The transaction is expected to lower the average coupon level of KPN’s bond portfolio and reduce near term refinancing requirements.

KPN’s net debt amounted to EUR 6.8 billion and its net debt[1] to EBITDA[2] ratio stood at 2.8x at the end of Q2 2016. KPN has credit ratings of Baa3 with a stable outlook by Moody's, BBB- with a stable outlook by S&P and BBB with a stable outlook by Fitch. KPN remains committed to an investment grade credit profile.
