Introduction As has been the case in network industries such as telecommunications,1 electricity,2 gas,3 and the postal sector,4 the European Union (hereinafter, the “EU”) financial services sector is slowly being prised open and feeling the effects of liberalisation.5 Indeed, a single market in financial services is seen as a fundamental requirement to achieving the, now diluted, goal of transforming the EU into the “most competitive and dynamic knowledge based economy in the world” by 2010. Though a single financial services market currently remains virtual, the launching of the Financial Services Action Plan (hereinafter the “FSAP”) in 1999 has brought considerable progress in this field.6 The FSAP lays down indicative priorities and a timetable for * Research Fellow at the Institute for European Legal Studies, University of Liège, Belgium.

    Shareholder Identification and Registration Report by a Working Group mandated by the European Post Trade Group December 2015 1 1. Introduction 1.1 European Post Trade Group / EPTG Tasks and Composition The European Post Trade Group (EPTG) has been set up in 2012 on the recommendation of the European Group on Market Infrastructure. It is a joint initiative between the European Commission, the ECB, ESMA and the industry. Its members are representatives of the key players involved in post trade issues which participate in the group’s work as experts. The initiators intended to drive the dismantling of barriers to cross border safety and efficiency including identifying new issues that have developed since the second Giovannini report in 2003. The mandate also comprises encouragement to propose to compliment the legal framework in those areas as well as the work of the ECB on its Target Securities project. 1 The EPTG has set up an action list and several initiatives have been commenced. 2 1.2 EPTG Working Group Shareholder Identification and Registration Tasks and Composition During the discussions in meetings of the EPTG several issues have been identified to warrant further attention including shareholder identification and questions of “registration” procedures and the relation to settlement. Two sponsors have been designated and a Working Group has been set up.3 This Working Group was set the task to do a fact-finding exercise with respect to the two issues to identify the concerns and expectations of market participants to develop a pan- European model for both in order to propose procedures not to interrupt straight through processing (STP) in cross border exercising of shareholders rights and cross border settlement.

  • German Aspects of Acquisition Financing
    Dr. Birgit Friedl European Counsel Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, Munich 3 Dr. Birgit Friedl | Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP German Aspects of Acquisition Financing International financial investors are increasingly discovering the German market as a playing field for interesting investments and are achieving attractive returns on investment. After streamlining their portfolios, strategic investors have also rediscovered their interest in strengthening their core business via acquisitions. Underlying Structure In the majority of M&A transactions, a company either acquired off the shelf or newly incorporated in the form of a limited liability company (GmbH) functions as the purchaser of the target and as borrower under the acquisition financing. These acquisition vehicles are to a certain extent funded with equity by the shareholders, while the remaining purchase price of the target is financed with bank debt. The funds required for the subsequent debt service are to be generated from the cash-flow that the operational business of the target company produces. Furthermore, extensive securities are generally granted to the lenders. In the context of acquisitions by strategic investors, payment guarantees issued by the parent company, which is the ultimate economic beneficiary behind the trans- action, may be considered. Especially in the case of financial investors, the lenders also tend to concentrate on the target company and their operative subsidiaries as grantor of securities and issuer of guarantees. Simultaneously with the actual acquisition financing, the existing bank financing of the target group is often paid and refinanced and a new working capital 44 facility is granted. This generally takes place within the framework of a separate Dr.

  • Culture and Corporate Law Reform: a Case Study of Brazil
    CULTURE AND CORPORATE LAW REFORM: A CASE STUDY OF BRAZIL ERICA GORGA* ABSTRACT The Brazilian capital markets are insufficient to provide com- panies with adequate financing. A 2001 reform in the Brazilian Corporate Law sought to strengthen Brazil's capital markets by providing stronger investor protection. Many of these latest re- forms, however, turn out to be merely palliative, because control- ling shareholders were able to capture the legislation in its crucial aspects. In this Article, I argue that public choice theory does not offer a comprehensive explanation of the legal reform outcome in the face of the particulars of the Brazilian institutional environ- ment. The objective of the research is to develop an alternative ap- proach to the public choice model by building upon Douglass North's work. In this approach, culture is incorporated into the economic model to account for divergent outcomes of similar pro- . Ph.D. in Commercial Law, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
