ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD
On November 6, 2015, Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate plc (“KWE,” LSE: KWE) announced its first draw under its Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the “Programme”) that it established on November 5, 2015, with the issuance of €300 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The transaction is currently expected to close on or around November 12, 2015.
The Notes will have an annual fixed coupon of 3.25% and a maturity of ten years due 2025. On or about the closing date, the Notes are expected to be listed on the official list of the London Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on its regulated market. The Notes will rank pari passu with KWE’s existing £300 million senior unsecured bonds due June 30, 2022. Both KWE and the Programme are rated BBB (outlook stable) by Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services Europe Limited.
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) currently owns approximately 17.8% of the total issued share capital of KWE. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Jersey also serves as KWE’s external manager pursuant to an investment management agreement.

The Notes are being sold only outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to United States persons (within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
