Contact Energy Limited’s offer of unsecured, subordinated, redeemable, cumulative, interest-bearing green capital bonds (Capital Bonds) (the Offer) closed today following a successful bookbuild, with $350million ($125million of oversubscriptions) of Capital Bonds allocated to the bookbuild participants and their clients.
