    Kering (“Kering”, the “Issuer”) today announces the successful placement of bonds exchangeable into existing ordinary shares of Puma (the “Bonds” or individually a “Bond”) by way of a placement to qualified investors only in accordance with Article L. 411-2 II of the Code monétaire et financier
    Following strong demand, the nominal amount of the issuance has been increased from EUR 500m to EUR 550m.
    The net proceeds of the issuance of the Bonds will be used for general corporate purposes of Kering. 


    The Bonds will be issued at a principal amount of EUR 100,000 per Bond (the “Principal Amount”) and will bear no interest (zero coupon). The Bonds will be offered at an issue price equal to 108.75% of the Principal Amount, amounting to EUR 108,750, corresponding to an annual yield-to-maturity of -2.78%. 
    The Bonds will be redeemed at their Principal Amount at maturity, i.e. on 30 September 2022 (absent the occurrence of an early redemption), subject to the Issuer’s option to deliver existing ordinary shares in Puma and an additional amount in cash.


    The Bonds may be redeemed prior to maturity at the option of the Issuer under certain conditions. In particular, the Bonds may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the Principal Amount at the Issuer’s option starting on 30 September 2021, subject to a prior notice of at least 40 calendar days (without exceeding 60 calendar days) if the arithmetic average, calculated in respect of 20 consecutive trading days chosen by the Issuer from among the 40 consecutive trading days preceding the publication of the early redemption notice, of the products of the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined in the terms and conditions of the Bonds (the “Terms & Conditions”)) of Puma’s shares on each trading day within the relevant observation period and the exchange ratio (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) on that day, exceeds 125% of the Principal Amount.


    The Bonds may be redeemed at the option of the bondholders in case of change of control or a delisting (as those terms are defined in the Terms and Conditions).
    In certain cases of early redemption of the Bonds, the Issuer will have the option to deliver existing ordinary shares in Puma and an additional amount in cash.
    The initial exchange price is equal to EUR 92.17 and represents an exchange premium of 35% over the reference share price of Puma . 
    The Bonds will give their holders the right to exchange the Bonds for existing Puma shares from (and including) the 41st day after the issue date to the 19th business day (included) preceding the Maturity Date. Upon exchange, the Issuer will have the option to pay in cash all or part of the value of the Puma shares instead of delivering existing shares. The initial exchange ratio of the Bonds is equal to the Principal Amount divided by the initial exchange price, i.e. 1,084.9517shares per Bond. 
    The initial exchange price will be subject to customary adjustments in the event of the occurrence of corporate events and particularly cash dividends, as provided in the Terms & Conditions.


    The settlement of the Bonds offering is expected to take place on 30 September 2019. Application for the admission of the Bonds to trading on the open market (“Euronext AccessTM”) of Euronext Paris will be made within 30 days following the issue date.
    Following the exceptional distribution in kind of Puma shares to its shareholders implemented in May 2018, Kering currently holds 15.70% of the share capital and 15.85% of the shares outstanding and voting rights of Puma. 
    Kering and its controlling shareholder have entered into a lock-up agreement relating to the shares of Puma, ending after a period of 90 calendar days from the settlement date of the Bonds, subject to certain exceptions. 
    The Bonds have been offered via an accelerated bookbuilding process through a placement to qualified investors only, outside the United States of America, South Africa, Canada, Japan and Australia.
    This press release does not constitute a subscription offer and the offering of the Bonds does not constitute a public offering, (other than the offer to qualified investors) in any country, including in France.
