The liabilities of PZU Finance AB (publ) arising from the bonds (including the obligation for payment of the nominal value of bonds and interest on the bonds) were secured with a guarantee provided by PZU to all bondholders. The maximum value of the guarantee was not specified. The maximum value of the guarantee expires upon the expiry of the claims of the bondholders towards PZU Finance AB (publ).
Eurobonds were issued within PZU Group's strategy of matching assets and liabilities denominated in EUR. After having acquired the Baltic companies, an important portion of PZU Group's assets became dependent upon the euro exchange rate. Therefore, the Group decided to issue the Eurobonds in this currency.
