LafargeHolcim has successfully settled a €500 million perpetual hybrid bond at an initial fixed coupon of 3% with a non-call period of five years and a quarter. Investors have expressed a strong interest, with a total order book of above €5 billion.

Earlier this week, the group also recorded successful results with its tender offer on three outstanding euro series of notes, bearing interest from 4.75% to 5.875% and maturing from July 2019 to March 2020.

Both transactions reduce the financing costs of the group.
