Paris: February 27, 2024 // Pluxee (the ‘’Group’’), announced today that it successfully placed two inaugural bonds for an aggregate amount of EUR 1.1 billion, consisting of a EUR 550 million bond issue with a 4.5-year maturity with a coupon of 3.50% and a EUR 550 million bond issue with a 8.5-year maturity with a coupon of 3.75%.
