Success of a 750 million euros 8-year Sustainability-Linked Bond
Carrefour today successfully placed a Sustainability-Linked bond issue, for a total amount of €750 million.

The second objective is linked to the number of suppliers committed to a climate strategy.
The main features are:
Amount: 750 million euros
Issuer: Carrefour SA
Maturity and payment: June 2034
Format: Fixed rate, bullet repayment
Coupon: 3.875% per annum
This issue was oversubscribed around 3 times, demonstrating once again the great confidence of the financial community in the quality of the Carrefour signature. The reception given to this transaction enabled a rapid placement at favorable conditions.
The 750 million euros raised will be allocated to the financing of the Group's general corporate purposes as well as to the refinancing of its debt.
The bond will benefit from a "BBB" rating from Standard & Poor's.
