Paris, July 6, 2018

Safran (Euronext Paris: SAF) has launched and priced on July 5, 2018 an offering of two-year floating rate notes (FRN) for an amount of 500 million euros.

It will bear a coupon of 3 month Euribor + 33 basis points per annum (coupon floored at 0%) and will be issued at 100.00% of the nominal value.

The offering was oversubscribed 2.5 times at this level that doesn’t concede any new issue premium, showing the great confidence of investors in the strategy and the performance of Safran and its high credit standards.

Safran is unrated and has not requested a rating for this offering.

The settlement of the offering is expected to take place on July 13, 2018, once the prospectus has received the visa of the French Financial Market Authority (Autorité des Marchés financiers) (AMF).

The notes will then be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris.

The proceeds of the offering will be used for Safran’s general corporate purposes.

This offering of two-year floating rate notes complements the successful offering of approximately 700 million euros of zero-coupon OCEANEs due 2023 announced on June 18, 2018. Safran diversifies and secures this way its financing at historically low conditions and strengthens its smooth maturity debt profile.

Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and Crédit Industriel et Commercial S.A. are the global coordinators of this FRN offering and, together with SMBC Nikko Capital Markets Limited, are Joint Lead Managers.
