Proceeds to be used for general purposes and debt refinancing

Zurich Insurance Group has successfully placed €500m-worth of senior debt with investors.

The 10-year bonds will mature in 2022, and pay investors interest of 3.375%.

The insurer will use the proceeds from the issuance for general corporate purposes  and to refinance maturing debt.

Under the transaction Zurich will issue the notes under its Euro medium-term note programme to a repackaging vehicle called Willow No. 2 (Ireland). This vehicle in turn will issue bonds to investors that are backed by the securities it has received from Zurich.
