Chicago, July 28 – Cellnex Telecom, SA priced €1 billion of 2.125% senior convertible bonds due 2030 (//BBB-) on Friday, according to a notice.

The coupon was fixed before pricing. Price talk on the conversion premium was 62.5% to 67.5%.

The conversion price is €62.4211, but the effective conversion price is €71.66. This is because the redemption price was going to be set between 110.7 and 114.8, for a yield to maturity between 3.5% and 4%.
