K+S reduces financial liabilities by €560 million through successful buy-back of bonds

“With the successful buy-back of the bonds, we are reducing our debt while further optimizing our balance sheet structure,” says K+S Chief Financial Officer Thorsten Boeckers. “Furthermore, this will reduce our interest costs for the next few years and minimize negative interest on the proceeds generated by the sale of the Americas."

The offer period expired on June 28, 2021. In total, K+S bonds with a par value of €560 million were tendered for buy-back. With the settlement on June 30, 2021, the bond buy-back is completed as planned.
