Think Tank – A successful debut: How should growing businesses approach their first Eurobond listing?

Any debut transaction comes with additional challenges for issuers. A lack of track record means limited investor familiarity, which can impact potential interest. Timing and market conditions are even more important to secure favourable pricing. Plus, there are extensive additional structuring and documentation requirements for debut listings.

All of this can make the prospect of a debut bond issuance somewhat daunting. During this think tank we will explore some of the key questions and concerns facing potential new issuers, including:

  • What are the first steps and considerations to take as a first-time issuer?
  • How to find, target and secure investors?
  • How much will it cost to access Eurobond market?
  • How do the rules differ to list on different exchanges? How can/do exchanges make it easier for companies to list and publish transaction documentation?
