Dufry issues new convertible as old bond converts early

Dufry, the Swiss duty-free concession operator, has issued a new five-year Sfr500m convertible bond to help refinance the Sfr350m three-year convertible it received in April 2020 following the initial onset of the pandemic, which caused a collapse in the company’s share price.

Credit Suisse and UBS were global coordinators.
