Capital Markets and Privatization

Introduction

Our attorneys provide creative, efficient solutions that meet our clients’ specific needs and goals in capital markets. We have advised on the initial public offerings by Cayman companies of securities on different stock markets including the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the KOSDAQ market of the Korea Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, and on secondary offerings in different jurisdictions.

Our attorneys provide nuanced insight and strategic advice as to matters of Cayman Islands law and British Virgin Islands law on shareholder activism and disputes, and the exercise of dissenting rights in relation to the merger take-private of offshore companies listed on NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange.

Our attorneys have also advised issuers, arrangers, underwriters, lead managers, investment managers, selling and acquiring shareholders, trustees and agents in transactions involving a wide range of international equity and debt offerings, including:

• Medium-term note programs
• High-yield bonds
• Convertible and exchangeable bonds
• Tender offers
• Asset-backed, mortgage-backed and esoteric securitizations
• Structured products (including collateralized loan obligations, collateralized debt obligations, and other credit- and equity-linked notes)

• Sovereign debt offerings and secondary offerings
• Loan participation notes
• Variable funding notes
• IPOs and listings
• Placings and rights issues
