Gide advised Veolia Environnement on the establishment of two Panda Bonds Programmes of RMB 5 billion each, approved by the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors and two first Panda Bonds issuances thereunder for an amount of RMB 750 million each.
Gide had already advised Veolia on the establishment of a Panda Bonds Programme in 2016, and on the Panda Bonds issuances thereunder, the first Panda Bonds issuances ever by a French corporate issuer.
These operations, which have been prepared on the basis of the most recent Chinese regulations, take place in the context of a significant development of the Panda Bonds market and confirm French and European issuers’ appetite for this market.
Gide’s team comprised partner Hubert du Vignaux and counsel Laurent Vincent assisted by associate Juliette Pierre in Paris on French law aspects, and partner Jiannian Fan in Shanghai on Chinese law aspects.
