Hili Finance Company plc opens its €60,000,000 bond issue to investors on Wednesday, the company said. The bonds will bear interest at an annual rate of 5% and are guaranteed by Hili Ventures Ltd.

Hili Finance Company is the financing arm of Hili Ventures, a privately owned Malta-based group with operations across 10 countries in Europe and North Africa, employing more than 13,000 people. In 2024, Hili Ventures surpassed €1 billion in revenue through its operations in food service, retail, real estate, hospitality, shipping, engineering, and technology.

The bonds will be available for subscription by all categories of investors, including the general public, and issued at a nominal value of €100 each with a minimum investment of €3,000.

The proceeds from the issue will support Hili Ventures' investment strategy and will be on-lent to the subsidiary companies to enable further growth across the group's portfolio. This includes the expansion of the retail operations of iSpot, Hili Ventures' Polish Apple Premium Reseller business, which recently became Europe's largest Apple Premium Reseller in a single country with over 50 stores.

The proceeds will also go towards the refurbishment of a boutique hotel overlooking Valletta's Grand Harbour which is currently underway and to acquire a property in Hamrun.

Geoffrey Camilleri, Hili Finance Company Chairman, said: "This €60,000,000 bond issue offers the market an opportunity to invest in a company that has grown from its Maltese roots into a diversified international business, guided by a clear long-term strategy. We look forward to building on what has been achieved to date, with the support of the market, as we continue to invest in the group's development."

Bondholders of Premier Capital plc will be given the opportunity to surrender all or part of their bonds in exchange for the new bonds being issued by Hili Finance Company. Holders of other Hili Ventures group securities will also be given preferential access to subscribe.

The offer will close on January 28, 2026 or earlier in the event of oversubscription. The bonds will mature and be redeemable at their nominal value on February 6, 2033.

Interested investors are advised that applications for the bonds may only be made through one of the Authorised Financial Intermediaries listed in the prospectus. The full bond documentation is available for download on the company's website: www.hilifinance.com.
