Teleperformance raises $519Mn through bonds

PARIS, FRANCE — Global tech giant Teleperformance has recently completed a five-year bond issuance, securing €500 million ($519.1 million).
Set to mature in 2030, the bonds come with a 4.25% annual coupon rate. This move aims to strengthen the company’s financial base and extend the maturity of its existing debt.
The issuance was met with interest, being nearly 6 times oversubscribed. This reflects a strong market confidence in Teleperformance, backed by its robust investor base.
Confirmed credit ratings
Adding to the company’s financial credibility, Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed Teleperformance’s investment-grade rating at BBB with a stable outlook, the highest in the customer experience management sector.
