FC Barcelona has successfully completed a €105 million issuance of Senior Secured Notes, maturing in October 2036 and carrying a fixed coupon of 5.14%.
 
The transaction received strong backing from international institutional investors. Demand significantly exceeded the amount offered, with the issue more than 200% oversubscribed, and the entire offering was placed in less than two hours among a selected group of U.S. investors, including insurance companies, investment funds, and pension funds.
 
The success of the operation reinforces international markets’ confidence in the strength of FC Barcelona’s project, as well as in the Club’s ability to execute its financial and growth strategy. The high level of demand and the terms achieved in this issuance demonstrate investors’ support for the Club’s financial progress. This confidence is also reflected in the reduction of the spread required by the market, which has fallen from 240 to 202 basis points compared to the previous issuance, highlighting a more favourable perception of risk and greater confidence in FC Barcelona’s project. 
 
The proceeds from this initial issuance will be used to strengthen the Club’s cash position and to continue advancing the execution of its strategic plan, in line with FC Barcelona’s growth and financial consolidation objectives.

Goldman Sachs acted as lead manager and placement agent for this ten-year bond issue.
