Summary
CBRE GROUP, INC. (CBRE) has filed an 8-K report detailing the completion of its offering of $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.900% Senior Notes due 2033. These notes are issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary, CBRE Services, Inc., and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the parent company.
