Paris, 3 November 2022

Darrois Villey Maillot Brochier has advised its client Bouygues S.A. (“Bouygues”) on its dual-tranche bond issuance for a total amount of €2.25 billion, consisting of a €1.25 billion tranche with a 10-year maturity and a 4.625% coupon and a €1 billion tranche with a 20-year maturity and a 5.375% coupon.

The bonds are admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris.

The Darrois Villey Maillot Brochier team was led by Laurent Gautier (partner) with Isabelle Touré-Farah in capital markets and Loïc Védie (partner) on tax aspects.
