Capital-raising through RMB Bonds

A growing number of MNCs are accessing RMB-denominated products to fund projects, enhance liquidity and improve their working capital in China. Through RMB bonds, companies can raise capital while avoiding time-consuming IPOs, rights issuances or secondary offerings. But while the benefits are compelling, policy restrictions can prove challenging if compliance is poorly executed.

At Baker & McKenzie, we can help manage all legal aspects of RMB-denominated capital raisings — from documentation, clearance and settlement of RMB bonds.

 

  • Our advisers have acted in numerous breakthrough RMB issuances and have a strong track record of representing issuers, shareholders and underwriters in various debt/equity transactions globally and in China.
  • We can take the lead in drafting the prospectus and offering circulars, and seamlessly coordinate all commercial, regulatory and US securities processes to help ensure optimal deal outcomes.
  • With a geographic footprint spanning 69 locations, we are particularly adept in executing multijurisdictional, multi-language transactions, whether you’re issuing RMB bonds or investing funds raised from an offering.
