The securities will be issued on December 18, 2019 and will mature on December 18, 2024.
Coupon on the bond, which will be determined at the time of the sale, will be payable twice a year.
The holders of JGL's existing bonds which mature in 2020 can swap their securities for bonds from the new issue, or sell them back to the issuer.

The company turned to a consolidated net profit of 26 million kuna in the first half of 2019, from a 19 million kuna loss in the like period of 2018, as revenues rose faster than expenditures. JGL's largest markets in the January-June period were Ukraine, Bosnia, Belarus, Serbia and Russia.
Founded in 1991, JGL is one of the largest drug makers in Croatia, specialising in the production of sterile nose, eye and ear drop solutions.
