Clifford Chance Badea, the local office of the global law firm Clifford Chance, advised Vista Bank on the issuance of EUR 17 million in bonds, which marked the bank’s debut on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. The issuance was part of a Medium-Term Note Programme totalling EUR 100 million.

The project team, including Partner Mădălina Postolache (Rachieru), Nicolae Grasu (Senior Associate), and Cosmin Mitrică (Associate), advised the financial institution throughout the entire process, starting with the structuring and implementation of the Medium-Term Note Programme (MTN) and the preparation of the inaugural issuance.

Partner Mădălina Postolache (Rachieru), who coordinated the project, says: “We are honoured to have contributed to another landmark transaction for the Romanian capital market, which reaffirms investors’ confidence in issuers with a transparent and solid business profile. We congratulate Vista Bank on the successful completion of a project that is very important to its future strategy.

Our team has extensive experience in implementing medium-term notes programmes. We are pleased to see that more issuers are turning to such programmes, which help them plan their medium-term financing through a globally standardized, efficient, and predictable framework.”
