SIX Announces Successful CHF 250m Digital Issuance

SIX, the leading operator of the Swiss and Spanish financial market infrastructures, has today (May 14 2025) confirmed the successful issuance of a CHF 250m digital bond. Featuring a 1% per annum coupon and a maturity in 2032, the bond attracted significant investor interest and will be listed at SIX Swiss Exchange.

The net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes which may include the refinancing of existing debt and the financing of the acquisition of Aquis Exchange Plc, as announced by the issuer on November 11 2024.

Daniel Schmucki, CFO SIX, commented: “This transaction marks the return of SIX to the CHF bond market since its last issuance in 2021. We are delighted with the strong investor demand, which highlights investor trust in the growth strategy of SIX and reinforces our reputation as a trusted and stable partner in the financial markets. The proceeds will further strengthen our financial flexibility, enabling us to continue delivering innovative solutions and creating value for our stakeholders.”

Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings reaffirmed the credit ratings of SIX Group AG (A) and its subsidiaries, SIX x-clear AG and SIX SIS AG (A+) in November 2024 and is expected to assign an A rating to this new bond.

The issuance was led by Raiffeisen Schweiz Genossenschaft, UBS AG and Zürcher Kantonalbank, serving as joint lead managers.
