PARIS LA DÉFENSE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Arkema (Paris:AKE) successfully placed today a new €500 million green bond with an 8-year maturity and an annual coupon of 3.50%.

This issuance builds on the green bond launched 5 years ago to finance its 100% bio-based Rilsan^® polyamide 11 plant in Singapore.
