Trafigura issues USD500 million senior bond
(Posted on 29/06/26)
Trafigura Group Pte Ltd. has announced the issuance of a USD500 million senior Reg S bond with a five-year maturity under its Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) programme.
Trafigura supplies energy and commodities, including metals and minerals, oil and petroleum products, gas and power, while investing in lower-carbon solutions for the future.
Following a roadshow by Trafigura’s management team with investors in Europe and Asia, the bond priced at 5.625 percent, a tightening of 20 basis points from initial guidance. This reflected strong support from institutional investors, as highlighted by a well-diversified order book across Asia, continental Europe and the UK. Investors were attracted by Trafigura’s diversified business, its robust balance sheet and consistent profitability.
The proceeds from the issuance will be used for general corporate purposes. The long-dated USD senior bond extends the Group's debt maturity profile and further diversifies its funding sources.
Stephan Jansma, Chief Financial Officer of Trafigura, said: “This transaction reinforces our commitment to the public debt capital markets, building on our successful return to the bond market in 2025. Pricing at the tightest spread to-date reflects investor confidence in Trafigura's implicit investment grade standing and the essential role we play in global commodity supply chains, especially during periods of market disruption. We are pleased by the further development of our investor base, and we intend to continue to access the fixed income markets on a regular basis."
Global Coordinators for the transaction were JP Morgan and Standard Chartered Bank. Credit Agricole CIB, ING and Société Générale acted as Active Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners.
Trafigura was founded over 30 years ago and owned by its employees, the Group is at the heart of global supply, using its deep understanding of commodity markets to make supply chains more efficient, secure and sustainable.
Working across a global network, the Group deploys infrastructure, logistics, financing and market expertise to move energy and commodities from where they are produced to where they are needed.
