Norton Rose Fulbright has provided legal advice on a significant EUR 500 million bond issuance for Royal Schiphol Group

Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright has successfully advised the Joint Lead Managers on a EUR 500 million bond issuance by Royal Schiphol Group, marking an important milestone as Schiphol's first benchmark issuance for 2026. The bond, which features a fixed interest rate of 3.625%, is set to mature in 2036. The proceeds from this bond issuance will be allocated for general corporate purposes, which include funding an investment programme for Amsterdam's prominent airport.

Prominent financial institutions Deutsche Bank, ING, NatWest Markets, and SMBC acted as Joint Lead Managers, ensuring a successful placement of the bond globally. The deal team from Norton Rose Fulbright was spearheaded by Amsterdam-based capital markets partner Peter Voorhees, along with the support of counsel Chris Sanderson and associate Bea Byrne Hill. The collaboration extended beyond the immediate team, involving partner Joris Ravelli and counsel Thomas Ticheloven from the wider Dutch office.

Commenting on the transaction, Peter Voorhees said "We are very pleased to support Schiphol in realising its financing goals through the debt capital markets as it continues to invest in the quality of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol." This statement underscores the firm's commitment to facilitating significant financial undertakings that contribute to the improvement and expansion of crucial infrastructure.
