Tornator Oyj ("Tornator") issues senior secured green notes in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 300 million (the "Notes"). The Notes will mature on 23 January 2033 and carry a fixed annual interest of 4.50 per cent. The issue date for the notes will be on 23 September 2026. The Notes are issued in accordance with Tornator’s green finance framework published in spring 2026 (the "Framework").
The Notes are secured by certain forest properties owned by Tornator which form a dynamic security pool that secures also Tornator's other secured indebtedness.
Tornator shall use the net proceeds from the issue of the Notes to refinance and finance Tornator's existing indebtedness, including redeeming the EUR 350m 1.250% notes due 14 October 2026 (ISIN: FI4000442108). An amount equivalent to the net proceeds of the Notes will be used for financing and refinancing eligible green assets in accordance with Tornator's Framework.
"The new bond issue refinances maturing debt and secures the financing capacity required to implement Vision 2035 for several years ahead. At the same time, the successful issuance reflects the long-term and stable nature of Tornator’s business, as well as the positive impact of maintaining strong investor relationships", says Antti Siirtola, Tornator's Chief Financial Officer.
Tornator will submit an application to have the Notes listed on the official list of sustainable bonds of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd.
Danske Bank A/S, OP Corporate Bank plc and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) act as Joint Lead Managers for the issue of the Notes (the "Joint Lead Managers").

The Notes will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or with any securities regulatory authority of any state of the United States.
