 SODICA ECM MID-CAPS
SODICA ECM mid-caps : equity market
services for corporate managers
SODICA ECM is the Crédit Agricole Group’s listing sponsor
on Alternext. SODICA’s Equity Capital Markets team
partners with its listed clients to prepare and perform issues
of stocks and other equity securities (e.g. stock warrants,
convertible bonds and bonds with redeemable share
warrants) on NYSE Euronext and Alternext. It coordinates
all aspects of takeovers and delisting procedures and also
handles pre-IPO type capital raising with the potential
to lead to direct listing, and organises IPOs from start to
finish.
SODICA ECM mid-caps focuses
on equity issuance & takeovers in 2009
A dedicated department was created for SODICA’s equity
capital markets activities in 2007. SODICA ECM Mid-caps
advises corporate executives, investors and shareholders
of listed and unlisted companies on IPOs, public and
private issuance of shares (and similar instruments), and
takeovers.
Equity Capital Markets
A targeted response to the equity capital needs
of mid-sized companies
In 2009, amid market conditions that precluded IPOs, the ECM Mid-caps
team continued to work with its clients to identify the best solutions for
their projects.
For example, the team coordinated the issuance of stocks and bonds with
redeemable share warrants, and advised on a takeover and public buyout
bid. A total of €67 million was raised in capital from the general public,
investment funds, and banks in 2009.
Finally, in its ongoing effort to maintain close contact with its clients and to
form long-term relationships, SODICA ECM Mid-caps continued to play its
role as listing sponsor of Alternext-listed companies for which it handled
the IPOs.
