EP Infrastructure, a.s. (“EPIF”) Successfully Prices EUR 500,000,000 Green Bond, the second issuance under EPIF’s recently established EMTN Programme
29. 1. 2026
EP Infrastructure, a.s. (“EPIF”) is pleased to announce the successful pricing of its second green bond issuance, a EUR 500,000,000 4.375% Notes offering maturing on 29 January 2034, issued under EPIF’s Euro Medium Term Note Programme, established in November 2025. This issuance follows EPIF’s inaugural green bond in 2025 and further demonstrates EPIF’s continued commitment to sustainable finance under its Green Finance Framework introduced in 2023.
The Notes are rated Baa3 by Moody’s, BBB- by S&P, and BBB- by Fitch. They are issued as senior, unsecured obligations governed by English law and will be listed on Euronext Dublin. EPIF intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds to finance or refinance eligible green projects in alignment with its Green Finance Framework.
Strong investor engagement once again characterised the execution. The order book exceeded EUR 3.5 billion at peak levels, allowing EPIF to tighten pricing meaningfully and ultimately price the transaction 5 basis points inside its perceived fair value. Interest came predominantly from high‑quality institutional investors across a broad range of asset-management strategies, as well as ESG‑focused strategies. Allocations were concentrated among leading asset managers, banks and private banking platforms, with particularly robust participation from accounts in the UK & Ireland, Benelux and DACH regions.
EPIF would like to express its appreciation to all partners involved in the transaction:
• The joint bookrunners: Commerzbank, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE (B&D), ING, SMBC and Societe Generale
• The legal advisors: White & Case and Clifford Chance
• All internal teams and external partners whose coordinated efforts ensured the smooth and timely completion of the issuance.
Comment from EPIF’s Finance Director
Václav Paleček, Chief Financial Officer of EPIF, commented:
“We are very pleased with the exceptionally strong investor response to our second green bond issuance. With this transaction, we have now raised a total of approximately EUR 1.1 billion of new debt across the EMTN Programme, which provides us with valuable flexibility as we prepare for the upcoming July 2026 bond maturity. More broadly, the issuance further strengthens EPIF’s liquidity position and supports the proactive management of our capital structure. We continue to monitor opportunities across our various funding channels, including potential avenues to optimise our cost of debt.
Importantly, by accessing the market early, we were able to secure funding ahead of potential geopolitical risks that currently represent a meaningful source of market volatility. This timely execution reinforces our commitment to prudent financial management and ensures that EPIF remains well‑positioned for a stable and sustainable future.”
