Forward-looking CPHCL Company Limited has received regulatory approval from the Malta Financial Services Authority for the listing of €45 million in unsecured bonds due in 2035 at a coupon of 5.35% by CPHCL Finance plc.
Established in 1966 as the holding company of the Corinthia Group, CPHCL has built a diversified portfolio spanning the property, services, and hospitality industries. The bonds, guaranteed by CPHCL Company Limited, will mature in 2035.
The company’s wide-ranging interests in Malta and overseas include a 58% stake in International Hotel Investments (IHI – the owner of the Corinthia brand), 50% in Mediterranean Investments Holding (MIH) which is the owner of Palm City residences in Libya, 65% in Danish Bakery, 25% in the Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre (MFCC), Palace Landscaping 100%, Palace Concierge 100% and Palazzo Leone 100%.
Over the years, CPHCL has also acquired full ownership of Swan Laundry and Dry Cleaning Limited, and Quality Talent Ltd (RQT), along with properties in Malta, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Budapest, Libya, and Tunis. CPHCL is also a 50% partner in a JV with Attard Brothers, with the purpose of developing and selling residential and commercial properties.
At a consolidated level, CPHCL Group is forecasting revenues of €386.7 million for 2025. The group’s net assets are forecasted to amount to just over €1 billion by the end of 2025.
Jean-Pierre Schembri, CEO of CPHCL, said: “Our primary focus will be on continuing the growth of our businesses, expanding our industrial ventures, optimising the use of our property portfolio both locally and internationally, and branching out into new sectors as part of a diversification exercise to ensure long-term sustainability of the Group. The company’s bond issue is an opportunity for the public to share in our future success.”
Part of the bond proceeds will go towards diversifying and expanding CPHCL’s business portfolio by pursuing opportunities in new sectors, including Malta’s highly regarded care sector (homes for the elderly), landscaping and plant nurseries, as also real estate development for quality residences and commercial purposes.
The Offer Period ends on 10 December 2025, or earlier if fully subscribed.
