The Netherlands is an attractive home state for companies with listing ambitions, both domestic and abroad, and Dutch companies are frequently also listed on foreign stock exchanges, such as the NYSE. The Netherlands offers a reliable regulatory environment, and its legal system provides for governance structures that are both solid and flexible (including board structures and multiple voting rights).
Our clients include issuers, shareholders and joint global coordinators/underwriters. We assist them with the challenges presented by a variety of equity capital market transactions, including:
- initial public offerings (IPOs)
- special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs)
- de-SPAC transactions and other business combinations
- rights issuances
- share issuances
- private placements
- public offerings
- public takeovers, including pre-wired back-end restructuring
- share buyback programmes
Debt Capital Markets
The way in which businesses organise their financing arrangements will depend heavily on their specific needs. Our Debt Capital Markets Team assists in setting up the right legal structure for our clients’ business operations. We can help you decide between various options, such as stand-alone bond issues or bank-bond finance. Our Debt Capital Markets Team was one of the pioneers in advising Dutch companies on private placements (USPPs) and as a result has direct knowledge and experience of the particular matters that concern issuers of these products. In addition, the Debt Capital Markets Team supports and assists banks with all other kinds of debt capital structures, such as High Yield Notes. In view of the cross-border nature of most of these financing transactions, we always work closely with the top experts in other jurisdictions.
