AGCO €600 million senior notes offering
We advised the initial purchasers on an unregistered investment-grade euro debt offering
Davis Polk advised the representatives of the several initial purchasers, in connection with an unregistered offering by AGCO International Holdings B.V., a Netherlands-domiciled subsidiary of AGCO Corporation, of €600 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.800% senior euro-denominated notes due 2028.
The notes are expected to trade on the Euronext Dublin’s Global Exchange Market and to be held in a manner which would allow them to be eligible for the corporate sector purchase programme of the European Central Bank, referred to as the CSPP.
