Amsterdam, 3 November 2025 — Heineken N.V. has completed a major financing step, successfully raising €1.3 billion through two tranches of euro-denominated notes under its Euro Medium Term Note Programme.
The company placed €550 million in 5.7-year notes with a 2.990% coupon, and €750 million in 20-year notes with a 4.242% coupon.
Both issues will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, giving investors long-term access to one of the world’s most recognised beverage companies.
The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which include potential acquisitions and business expansion.
Maturity dates are set for 14 July 2031 and 14 November 2045, reflecting Heineken’s commitment to balancing short-term liquidity and long-term capital stability.
Barclays, Citibank, HSBC, Santander, and Société Générale acted as active bookrunners on the deal, which attracted strong institutional demand across Europe.
