Kimco Realty Announces Pricing of Inaugural Issuance of Green Bonds


Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE: KIM) today announced the pricing of its public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.700% notes due 2030 (the "green bonds") with an effective yield of 2.751%, maturing October 1, 2030. The offering is expected to settle on July 13, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.

The company intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from this offering to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed, existing or future eligible green projects (the "eligible green projects"). Eligible green projects include the development and acquisition of green buildings, energy efficient building upgrades, installation of sustainable water and wastewater management systems, and the development of renewable energy. The company believes that the green bond framework set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to which this offering is being made is in alignment with the four core components of the Green Bond Principles, 2018 (GBP) as administered by the International Capital Market Association. Pending allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering to eligible green projects, net proceeds will be used to repay borrowings outstanding under the company's term loan credit facility maturing in April 2021 (subject to a one-year extension) (of which $325.0 million were outstanding as of June 30, 2020), which borrowings bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.400%.
