Overview
- FC Schalke 04 placed its sixth corporate bond, the Anleihe 2025/2030, with a volume of €90 million.
- Proceeds will be used to repay in full the 2021/2026 and 2022/2027 bonds before the end of the year.
- The early repayments will include accrued interest owed to holders of the two outstanding issues.
- Finance chief Christina Rühl-Hamers called the step important for aligning plans on a long-term, sustainable basis.
- The club remains heavily indebted, and the move shifts near-term obligations into a longer-dated instrument maturing in 2030.
