The bonds are unsecured obligations of the issuer. They benefit from a guarantee, in a maximum amount of EUR 25,000,000, provided by INVL Renewable Energy Fund I, a well‑established fund with a portfolio of renewable energy projects. This means that if the issuer fails to meet obligations, the guarantor is legally bound to fulfill them.
Proceeds will be used to:
- Primarily refinance the existing bridge loans (provided by EBRD and Eiffel Investment Group) of Danube Solar Five S.A., a Group SPV operating a 60 MWp solar PV power plant in Dolj County, Romania (Pielești and Robănești). The whole issue is intended for this refinancing.
- To the extent proceeds exceed the amount required for the Danube Solar Five S.A. refinancing, remaining proceeds may be applied to refinance other Group SPVs (operating in Romania), general working capital, or general corporate purposes including financing development, construction and operation of renewable energy projects.
The Danube Solar Five S.A. project (construction completed; in trial operation pending issuance of the production licence by the Romanian energy regulator, expected June 2026) is expected to contribute to stable cash flows supporting interest and principal payments.
