ISS Global A/S has today successfully priced an issuance of EUR bonds for a
principal amount of EUR 1.2bn. 

The notes are to be issued in two tranches of EUR 700m in 5 years maturing
9/1-2020 with a coupon of 1.125% and EUR 500m in 10 years maturing 2/12-2024
with a coupon of 2.125%. 

The notes will be issued under the company's EUR 2bn European Medium Term Note
(EMTN) programme, and will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. 

The proceeds of the offering will be used to repay the existing 2017 Term Loan
A facility under the Senior Unsecured financing. 

'We are very pleased with the strong support from investors regarding the issue
of EUR notes today. By issuing EMTN bonds we have optimised our debt structure
through a more diversified split between bank and bond debt and at the same
time increased tenors at slightly reduced interest costs,' said Heine
Dalsgaard, Group CFO. 

Barclays, Danske Bank, Goldman Sachs International, HSBC and Nordea acted as
joint lead manager for the bookbuilding process.
