Triodos Bank UK 2020 Bond Issue
The Company has invested GBP2.5m in the inaugural private bond issue by Triodos Bank UK Ltd ("Triodos Bank") on 23 December 2020. The 10-year bond is callable by Triodos Bank at year five. The bond pays a fixed 4% coupon, which will reset to Base+3.9% at year five if the bond has not been called.
Triodos Bank is a leading lender to sustainability and social impact focused organisations. This includes social housing, healthcare, education, renewable energy, arts & culture, and community projects. The bond qualifies as Tier 2 regulatory capital to support Triodos Bank's ambition to grow lending in the UK in the coming years, whilst maintaining UK regulatory capital requirements. It will enable Triodos Bank to continue to grow its loan book and contribute to the resilience and growth of charities and social enterprises.
A recent example of Triodos Bank's lending includes Middlesbrough-based charity MAIN, which supports people with a range of disabilities, including autism and cerebral palsy. Triodos Bank's loan enabled MAIN to purchase a new site, which will double its existing space and increase its impact by supporting over 700 visitors per week.
Another example is Langham Court, a specialist care home offering pioneering dementia care in Hindhead, Surrey. Lending from Triodos supported the refurbishment and further development of Langham Court, including building new communal areas and expanding the home's capacity from 29 to 40 rooms.
Commenting on the investment, Jeremy Rogers, CIO of Big Society Capital, said:
"We are pleased to be announcing our first investment shortly after our December launch. Our investment in Triodos is in line with our stated objectives of tackling social challenges through supporting high impact organisations across the UK, while providing high quality risk adjusted returns to shareholders."
Terms used in this announcement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, bear the meanings given to them in the Prospectus.
