Axeco Corporate Finance is pleased to have advised NSI

NSI N.V. has agreed to issue €40 million of 8-year unsecured notes to Pricoa Capital Group, part of the global investment business of Prudential Financial Inc. The Euro denominated notes have a fixed coupon reflecting an implied investment grade credit rating. This recognition from an internationally highly reputable investor is a reflection of the steps NSI has taken in the past few years to professionalise the organisation and strengthen its balance sheet.

Furthermore, a shelf facility has been agreed so that NSI can agree further notes with Pricoa and its affiliates in the future, with only tenor and coupons to be negotiated at the time of issuance.

As a result of this placement NSI has extended its average debt maturity and further diversified its investor base.
