Pricing was determined based on the yield to maturity of a U.S. Treasury reference security plus a fixed spread of 115 basis points. The purpose of the offer was to optimize the use of Veolia Environnement’s cash and cash equivalents realized from recent divestitures, and to reduce its U.S. dollar indebtedness. The tender offer launched on May 29, expired on June 6 and closed on June 12.
