NOVOMATIC AG has successfully placed a promissory note in the amount of EUR 275 million. The issue consists of tranches with five and ten-year maturity. They were placed not only in Austria and Germany but, amongst others, in Luxembourg and Spain as well. The proceeds will be used for ongoing corporate financing.

In this way, we use the persistently attractive interest rates, especially for the long-term maturities. The interest rates of the issued promissory notes are advantageous from a corporate point of view and reflect our solid balance sheet structure and the strong cash flow of NOVOMATIC", Peter Stein, NOVOMATIC's Chief Financial Officer, explained.
