DLA Piper advises Edenor on issuance of additional Class 7 notes

DLA Piper advised Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. (Edenor), Argentina’s largest electricity distribution company, in its issuance of additional Class 7 notes.

The additional issuance of Class 7 notes further increased the outstanding volume, enabling Edenor to strategically harness favorable market conditions in parallel with other prominent issuers.

The notes are denominated and payable in US dollars, at a fixed annual nominal interest rate of 9.75 percent. The notes mature on October 24, 2030, under the company’s global issuance program for up to US$750 million (or its equivalent in other currencies), as authorized by the Argentine Securities Commission.

DLA Piper acted as legal counsel under New York and Argentina law to Edenor with a team comprising of Partners Marcelo Etchebarne, Joaquín Eppens Echagüe, Alejandro Noblía (all Buenos Aires), and Joshua A. Kaufman (New York), as well as Of Counsel Nicolás Teijeiro, and Associates Daiana Suk and Federico Vieyra (all Buenos Aires). Edenor’s additional issuance of Class 7 notes exemplifies DLA Piper’s international reach, sophisticated cross-border structure, and seamless collaboration and coordinated efforts across the firm’s Latin America and US teams.
