360Energy, a leading company in innovative solar energy development, announced the launch of a new issuance of Negotiable Obligations, classified as a Green Bond, for an amount of up to US$10 million, expandable to US$15 million, to finance renewable energy projects in Argentina.
The proceeds from this issuance of Negotiable Obligations (ON), which was publicly auctioned on Thursday, February 27, will be used by 360Energy to finance projects in its portfolio—specifically, new photovoltaic solar parks in the towns of Colón, Arrecifes, Realicó, Palomar, and Córdoba.
The auctioned instruments, Green Bond Class 5 ONs, received the highest environmental rating in Argentina, with a BV1 (arg) certification granted by the agency Fix. This rating reflects the strong alignment of 360 Energy Solar S.A.'s projects with international green bond standards, ensuring that the funds are exclusively allocated to initiatives that contribute to combating climate change.
In addition, the credit rating of A (arg), also awarded by Fix, highlights the company’s financial strength and offers reassurance to investors seeking stability and returns in a sustainable business.
The bonds are subscribed, settled, and payable in U.S. dollars.
They carry a fixed interest rate and mature 30 months from the issuance and settlement date (March 5, 2025).
Amortization: 100% of the principal of the Negotiable Obligations will be repaid in a single payment on the Maturity Date.
