This transaction will reduce the overall cost of debt while further improving our maturity profile and diversifying JDE Peet’s financing sources,” said Scott Gray, CFO of JDE Peet’s. “A few months after the successful re-financing of our debt with our core banking partners, I am very pleased to now see the endorsement from the fixed income investor community, which is another testament to our strong credit profile.”  

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations with investment grade terms, issued by JDE Peet’s N.V. under its newly established EUR 5 billion Guaranteed Debt Issuance Programme and guaranteed by JACOBS DOUWE EGBERTS International B.V. and Peet’s Coffee, Inc.
