MTN Programme

Kinnevik has established a medium term note programme. This programme enables Kinnevik to issue notes with a minimum tenor of one year within a SEK 6bn framework amount. The programme was extended in February 2019, and in connection therewith Danske Bank joined as dealer under the programme. The terms and conditions for the notes issued under the programme entail standard clauses about change of control and negative pledge.

SEB is arranging the programme and also acts as issuing agent together with Svenska Handelsbanken, Swedbank, Nordea Bank, DNB Bank ASA, filial Sverige, and Danske Bank.

In February 2020, Kinnevik issued SEK 1.5bn in bonds under the MTN Programme. The bonds have a tenor of five years, with SEK 1,250m bearing a floating rate coupon of three months STIBOR + 0.80%. and SEK 250m bearing a fixed rate coupon of 1.058%.

In November 2021, Kinnevik updated the prospectus for its MTN Programme to enable issuance of sustainability-linked medium term notes in accordance with Kinnevik's Sustainability-Linked Framework.

In November 2021, Kinnevik issued dual tranche SEK 2.0bn sustainability-linked bonds under the MTN Programme comprising a SEK 1.5bn tranche with a final maturity of five years, bearing a floating rate coupon of three months STIBOR + 0.70%. and a SEK 0.5bn tranche with a final maturity of seven years, bearing a floating rate coupon of three months STIBOR + 0.90%. The final redemption price of the sustainability-linked bonds depends on Kinnevik’s ability to meet the annual sustainability performance targets (“SPTs”) the company has set for its sustainability work. If Kinnevik does not achieve an SPT in any given year the redemption price will increase by 0.075 percent per SPT and year. The first measuring date for the SPTs will be 31 December 2022. More information about the SPTs can be found in Kinnevik’s Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework further down on this page.
