Record Issuance of Czech Bonds by CSG Worth CZK 10 Billion Successfully Subscribed.

The industrial-technological holding CZECHOSLOVAK GROUP a.s. (CSG) has successfully completed the issuance of secured bonds totaling CZK 10 billion, which were subscribed on June 10, 2025. This landmark corporate bond issuance, the largest in the history of the Czech bond market, represents a significant milestone in the group’s development and confirms strong investor confidence in its strategy and potential.

The bonds, with a nominal value of CZK 10,000, a fixed annual yield of 5.75%, and a 5-year maturity, attracted a wide range of investors, including institutional and numerous retail investors. The immense interest reflects not only the attractiveness of the offer but also the support the Czech public expresses for the defense industry and CSG as its most prominent representative in the Czech Republic.

The issuance was coordinated by Česká spořitelna, with support from a consortium of banks, including J&T Banka, Komerční banka, PPF banka, and UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia.

“The success of this bond issuance represents not only a financial but also a moral liability for us. This is truly the largest issuance on the Czech bond market to date and we would like to thank both Czech small investors and institutions for their trust and for supporting our activities in key sectors such as defense, aerospace, and automotive,” said Zdeněk Jurák, Member of the Board and CFO of CSG.

“We would also like to express our gratitude to our banking partners for their professional approach and efficient coordination of the entire process.”

The funds will be used to support further growth of the group, strengthen its capital structure, and invest in innovation and expansion, including organic growth and acquisitions. CSG, which in 2024 achieved consolidated revenues of EUR 4 billion (EUR 5.2 billion including the acquisition of The Kinetic Group) and employs over 14,000 people worldwide, continues to solidify its position as a global leader in the defense and industrial sectors.
