"The net proceeds would be used for financial support of our insurance holding - EUROINS Insurance Group, in order to further capitalize EIG's subsidiaries in the process of complying with the Solvency II EU Directive," Kiril BOSHOV, Chairman of Eurohold Bulgaria's Management Board, stated.

EUROHOLD is one of the first Eastern European companies that launched EMTN Programme. A base prospectus in relation with the establishment of the EMTN programme has been approved by the Central Bank of Ireland earlier this year.

The EMTN programme itself is not a fundraising process and only provides companies with the suitable infrastructure for fundraising purposes. It is a popular funding source for the corporate sector in the developed countries and allows bond issuers to enter foreign markets more easily to get capital. The EMTN programme provides the issuer with significant flexibility with reference to the terms of the bonds to be issued within the framework including the size of the bond issues, the interest rates, the maturity and etc.
