Securities
We have been doing significant and ground-breaking work on capital market activities advising both actual and potential issuers, managers, underwriters, trustees, trading platform developers and subscribers.
We have advised on several pioneering initial public offerings: for an oil-and-gas exploration and production company; a shipping company; a telecommunications company; an electric power producer; a hotel owner; and a lottery operator.
We have advised on numerous equity public offerings. In many of them, the issuers have been financial institutions -- banks, underwriters and insurers -- seeking to strengthen their capital bases.
Perhaps the most significant of these has been the largest ever equity offering in West Africa. The securities offered under it have been listed simultaneously on stock exchanges in several countries.
We have also advised on three offerings of global depository receipt instruments by banks and several private placements of equity securities by banks.
We have advised on numerous managed funds offerings including pioneering Islamic, sector-specific, money market and index-linked unit trusts and on merging and restructuring unit trusts.
We have advised a leading bank on a pioneering Tier II capital bond offering that is quoted on a European trading platform, and we are advising on two more Tier II capital bond offerings by banks.
We have advised on a state bond offering that was the largest ever of its kind at the time, and we are advising on three other state bond offerings. All of these four bond offerings are for the development of social infrastructure. Two of them have been listed.
