EUROPEAN PRIMARY PLACEMENT FACILITY (EPPF) eppf S.A. 2015 Orphan Global Finance / Capital Structure / Debt Capital Markets / Integrated Bond Issuance Company description eppf is a digital platform that provides solutions for corporate Treasury and financing challenges due to the fragmented middle- and back office landscapes prevalent today. It reduces market access and cost hurdles by providing the only digital, end-to-end turn-key solution to issue bonds; it is both CSSFregulated and capital markets union (CMU)-compliant. Product description eppf products include bonds and Schuldschein/NSV as well as other structures such as repackaging and BEPS-compliant Treasury subsidiary functions. On the one hand it works with eppf-provided or existing documentation. On the other hand, eppf offers various legal innovations such as compartment solutions (similar to a Treasury subsidiary but operated at a considerably lower cost) as well as an automated, standardised but flexible issuance documentation. It is suitable for frequent, less-frequent and first-time issuers. eppf works with existing market participants, most notably law firms, service and technology providers, and especially banks. ABN Amro, DZ BANK and Commerzbank for example are already part of the eppf platform and can act as bookrunner and arranger. Functionalities All of eppf’s functionality is digitally integrated in the current and future clearing environment. The API-based architecture makes integration with other stakeholders - in particular investors - easy and seamless. Joining the eppf platform is a simple process of signing two standard documents. Interaction with potential investors and thus diversification of funding sources is crucial to eppf which has online roadshow capabilities and a centralised data-room for due diligence. All documents are machine-readable and standardised thereby enhancing secondary market liquidity, too. Centred around a modular documentation approach, eppf offers both commercial paper (CP) and medium-term notes (EMTN/MTN). It comes with enhanced functionalities for listing, settlement, custody and payments. The always up-to-date funding documentation will soon be completed by a native eppf-front-end matching issuers and investors with the help of their banks.
