POHJOLAN VOIMA OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 29 MAY 2024

Pohjolan Voima Issues EUR 150 Million Senior Unsecured Notes

Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore or such other countries or otherwise in such circumstances in which the offering of the notes or the release, publication or distribution would be unlawful.

Pohjolan Voima Oyj (“Pohjolan Voima”) issues senior unsecured notes of EUR 150 million (the “Notes”). The maturity of the Notes is seven years and they mature on 5 June 2031. The Notes carry fixed annual interest of 4,75 percent. The issue price of the notes is 99,936 percent. The offering was allocated to more than 25 investors.

“This 7-year bond is an important part of Pohjolan Voima’s financing structure, diversifying our financing sources in accordance with our financing strategy. It was a pleasure to see the interest of a diverse group of investors in the transaction, despite our almost five-year absence from the bond market. I believe that our strong market position as a producer of sustainable energy and the positive effects of the completion of Olkiluoto 3 on the volume of energy production convinced the investor base and generated a good participation rate in the issue,” says Minna Laakso, Pohjolan Voima’s Chief Financial Officer.

Pohjolan Voima will submit an application to have the Notes listed on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. Pohjolan Voima intends to use the net proceeds of the issue of the Notes for refinancing of existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes of the group.

Danske Bank A/S and OP Corporate Bank plc acted as joint lead managers for the issue of the Notes.
