MARF admits a new Green Commercial Paper Programme from Feníe Energía

MARF, BME's Fixed Income Market, today admitted a new 30-million-euro Green Commercial Paper Programme from Feníe Energía. This new programme will allow Feníe Energía to diversify and expand its financing sources by tapping into the fixed income markets and placing Commercial Paper (CP) issues with maturities of up to two years.

The funds will be used to finance or refinance all or part of existing or future renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. The CPs issued under the Programme will be considered green instruments, in accordance with the Green Bond Principles (GBP) of the International Capital Market Association - ICMA. To this end, Feníe Energía has obtained a second opinion from Ethifinance confirming that the Programme is aligned with the four fundamental principles that make up the GBP.

Bestinver Securities participates as Global Coordinator and is the Placement Entity together with Renta 4 Banco. Bestinver Securities will also be Feníe Energía's Registered Advisor in MARF.

Law firm Gómez-Acebo & Pombo Abogados has provided legal advice to the new issuer in MARF in connection with the registration of the Commercial Paper Programme.

EthiFinance Ratings has assigned a rating of BB- with a stable trend to Feníe Energía.
