Iute Group, a leading European personal finance group and issuer in the European high-yield bond market, through its wholly owned subsidiary IuteCredit Finance S.à r.l., today successfully placed an additional EUR 140 million tap of its outstanding senior secured bonds due 2030 (IUTECR 12% 2030, ISIN: XS3047514446) at an issue price of 99.50%. The transaction was met with strong demand from new institutional investors across Europe. Following the transaction, the outstanding bond volume amounts to EUR 300 million.
