Financial advisement provided by our law firm to Groupe BPCE for the debut issuance of a European defense bond by a European financial institution.
In a significant move for the European defense and security sectors, global law firm White & Case LLP has advised Groupe BPCE on the first-ever European defense bond issued by a financial institution in Europe. The bond, worth €750 million, has a five-year maturity and is targeted towards the defense and security sectors.
The White & Case team in Paris, led by partner Grégoire Karila and associate Paul-Grégoire Longrois, provided advice on the transaction. Grégoire Karila specialises in the Capital Markets and Derivatives service area, while Paul-Grégoire Longrois is an associate in the Capital Markets service area at White & Case LLP.
The service areas involved in the Groupe BPCE defense bond transaction include Capital Markets, Financial Institutions, and Western Europe. Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking arranged the placement of the bond, and Crédit Agricole CIB advised Groupe BPCE for the issuance.
The funds raised from the Groupe BPCE defense bond will be used to finance and refinance companies active in the European defense and security sectors. This transaction marks a significant step forward in the development of the European defense and security industries.
Unfortunately, no specific local media contact information was provided for the Groupe BPCE defense bond transaction. However, the issue was included in Euronext's new European Defence Bond label, indicating wide recognition and interest in this groundbreaking transaction.
This is a monumental achievement for Groupe BPCE and White & Case LLP, and it underscores the growing importance of the European defense and security sectors. As these industries continue to evolve, it is likely that we will see more innovative financial solutions like the Groupe BPCE defense bond in the future.
