KFM Deutsche Mittelstand AG had upgraded the bond in its KFM barometer update from 31.01.2019 to "extremely attractive" (5 out of 5 possible stars). With the acquisition of Euroports Holdings S.à.r.l. announced in mid-February R-LOGITECH has confirmed the assessment of KFM Deutsche Mittelstand AG.

The non-subordinated and unsecured Bond of R-LOGITECH S.A.M. issued at the end of March 2018 has a coupon of 8.50% p.a. (Interest payment annually on March 29th.) and has a five-year term from 29.03.2018 to 29.03.2023. As part of the 2018 issue, the maximum issue volume of EUR 25 million with a denomination of EUR 1,000 was placed. From 25.02. until 6 March 2019, the issuer places an increase of the bond by up to 100 million euros at the issue price of 100%. In the first four weeks after the top-up issue, the new bonds will trade under the ISIN DE000A2RW772.

The bond conditions provide for early termination options at the discretion of the Issuer as of March 29, 2021 at 104% and from March 29, 2022 at 102% of the nominal value. The Issuer obliges itself and its subsidiaries to comply with a minimum equity ratio and a distribution restriction.
