Frankfurt, 24 April 2018 – BankM – Representative Office of FinTech Group Bank AG (“BankM”) has successfully supported the increase of the corporate bond 2017/2022 (ISIN: DE000A19MDV0) of Metalcorp Group B.V. to EUR 80 million as Lead Manager and Global Coordinator. As part of an international private placement with institutional investors, the maximum volume of EUR 30 million for the increase was fully subscribed. The inclusion of the new bonds in the current listing on the Open Market of Deutsche Börse AG (OTC market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange) took place this week under the interim ISIN DE000A19ZL70.

BankM had already successfully structured and placed the issue of the first tranche of EUR 50 million. Overall, the increased presence in the debt capital market shows a positive impact. Since the expansion of the sales team in mid-2017, BankM has advised on over 30 transactions with a total volume of around EUR 400 million. The spectrum comprises the entire debt capital sector ranging from traditional bearer bonds, bonds with warrants, convertible bonds, zero bonds and mezzanine capital to credit brokering. In addition to being lead manager, as with Metalcorp, BankM specializes as technical processor for securitisation and subscription services as well as paying agent.

“With our flexible, product-independent offering, we do not follow temporary trends, but always try to find the strategically best financing solution for the occasion and at the same time limit the time and financial expenditure for our customers,” explains Ralf Hellfritsch, founding partner of BankM and responsible for Fixed Income, the recipe for success.
