The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA) has today approved and registered the base prospectus. The prospectus is available on Diös' website, www.dios.se, and on the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's website, www.fi.se. The prospectus is valid for twelve months from the date of approval by the SFSA.

Simultaneously with the update, the programme amount in the programme is increased from previously SEK 3.5 billion to SEK 4.5 billion, which enables continued flexible and efficient financing of the company's growth strategy.

Diös has previously, in consultation with Handelsbanken, established a green financing framework. The framework allows the company to finance the type of projects and assets covered by the framework by inter alia issuing green bonds. Diös continues to lead the way in sustainable urban development. In 2021, Diös was one of the first companies in the real estate sector to align its green finance framework with the EU Taxonomy. In the updated version of the framework, Diös has chosen not only to maintain its previous level of ambition – but to raise it even further. The updated green finance framework maintains strict requirements for existing buildings while tightening the criteria for new constructions by introducing one of the industry's most ambitious thresholds for climate impact during new development. This initiative is a key step toward achieving Diös’ goal of reducing its climate footprint by 50 percent by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2045.

-We see a growing interest from investors in sustainable and responsible investments. By both strengthening our Green Finance Framework and increasing the framework amount of our MTN program, we create attractive opportunities for investors who want to contribute to the green transition, says Andreas Stattin Berg, Head of Finance.

The green finance framework is a central part of Diös’ long-term strategy to reduce climate impact, contribute to a more sustainable society, and create an attractive offering for both investors and tenants.

S&P Global Ratings has conducted an independent assessment (“Second Opinion”) of the Green Finance Framework and awarded the grade Medium Green.

-Sustainability is an integral part of our entire business, and we see financing as a key tool to accelerate the necessary transition. With our updated Green Finance Framework, where we have further raised the bar for climate requirements, we create clear opportunities for investors to actively contribute to a more sustainable society. At the same time, we are taking an important step towards our targets of halving emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2045, says Johan Dernmar, Chief Investor Relation Officer.

Handelsbanken is the arranger of the MTN programme and acts together with Danske Bank and Swedbank as dealers. Born Advokater is legal advisor to Diös.
