DLA Piper has advised UBM Development on the issuance of its first deeply subordinated green hybrid bond, raising EUR 65 million under UBM’s Green Finance Framework. Wolf Theiss advised Raiffeisen Bank International as sole structuring adviser, bookrunner, paying agent, and dealer manager for the buy-back offer.
UBM Development is a European developer of timber construction projects and is listed on the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange.
According to DLA Piper, this transaction follows UBM’s November 2024 senior bond of EUR 93 million and involved the repurchase and exchange of 43.6% of the outstanding 2021 hybrid bond, lifting UBM’s total hybrid issuance to EUR 121 million. Listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, the new bond proceeds will finance timber-based development projects across UBM’s core markets in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Poland.
