Hili Finance Company plc’s €60 million bond issue was fully subscribed, according to a press statement, in under a week. The bond was issued on January 7th.

 “The strong demand for this bond issue is a clear vote of confidence in the group’s strategy, governance and long-term outlook," Geoffrey Camilleri, Chairman of Hili Finance Company plc, said.

"We are grateful for the support shown by both retail and institutional investors, which enables us to accelerate investment across our portfolio, driving sustainable growth for the future.”

Proceeds from the bond issue will support Hili Ventures’ investment plan and will be on-lent to subsidiary companies to enable further growth across the group.

This includes the expansion of the retail operations of iSpot, Hili Ventures’ Apple Premium Reseller business in Poland, which recently became Europe’s largest Apple Premium Reseller in a single country with over 50 stores.

The proceeds will also support the ongoing refurbishment of a boutique hotel overlooking Valletta’s Grand Harbour and the acquisition of a property in Ħamrun.

The bonds will be listed on the Malta Stock Exchange by 16th February.

The Hili Group has also seen strong historical demand for its fixed-income instruments. In 2024, the €80 million five-year bond issued by Hili Finance Company was oversubscribed within hours of opening – signalling strong market confidence in the group’s creditworthiness and the guarantee structure provided by Hili Ventures.
