The bonds, which have a fixed interest rate of 2.5% and were issued under New York law, are listed on the Global Exchange Market Euronext in Dublin. BNP Paribas and Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE acted as global coordinators and Bank Pekao SA, Banco Santander, ING and PKO BP acted as joint bookrunners.

White & Case also advised Synthos on the renegotiation of revolving loan agreements of up to €500 million, the repayment of the existing term loan, the negotiations of an inter-creditor agreement and security documentation.
