Eni announced last night that it had successfully placed $2.25 billion of fixed-rate bonds, marking its successful return to the US bond market.

The Italian energy group points out that the two-tranche issue attracted strong interest from the financial community, with total demand expressed at $11 billion, with each tranche subscribed by a base of 180 institutional investors.

The first $1 billion tranche has a ten-year maturity in May 2034, with an annual coupon of 5.50%.

The second $1.25 billion tranche expires in 30 years (2054), with a coupon of 5.95%.

In a press release, Eni states that it plans to use the proceeds of these two bonds for its ordinary financing needs.

The share price was down 0.1% on Thursday morning following this announcement.
