PRESS RELEASE - Paris, 20 March 2012
TOUAX intends to take part in the planned bond issue subscribed for by the Micado France 2018 mutual fund
To diversify its sources of financing and continue its development, TOUAX is planning a bond issue which will be subscribed for by the Micado France 2018 mutual fund created for that purpose.
Accola, Investeam, MiddleNext and Portzamparc Gestion have created an initiative to enable about twenty French mid caps to issue bonds to be bought by a contractual mutual fund (FCP) set up for that purpose, whose units will be applied for by institutional investors.
The structure of funds such as Micado France 2018 offers an effective solution for the new financing context, allowing French medium-sized companies to access the bond market and enabling institutional investors to diversify their portfolio with new interests in French industries, while benefiting from an attractive risk/return ratio.
The TOUAX Group provides its operational leasing services to a global customer base, both for its own account and on behalf of investors. TOUAX is the European leader in shipping containers and river barges, and no. 2 in modular buildings and freight railcars (intermodal railcars). TOUAX is well positioned to take advantage of the rapid growth in corporate outsourcing of nonstrategic assets and offers efficient and flexible leasing solutions to more than 5,000 customers daily.
TOUAX is listed in Paris on NYSE EURONEXT - Euronext Paris Compartment C (Code ISIN FR0000033003) and on the CAC® Small and CAC® Mid & Small indexes and in SRD Long-only.
