Client stories

  • Pernod Ricard

    Pernod wanted to raise money in the US market to repay bank debt whilst expanding its investor base and optimising maturities. RBS structured a three tranche bond issue and – with the 30 years tranche – achieved the longest tenor available for a French company on the American market. RBS secured the lowest USD coupons in Pernod’s history for all three tenors.

  • Ruby Pipeline

    RBS structured and executed a refinancing programme in the depths of the European financial crisis, arranging hedge positions across multiple bank counterparties, each with separate agreements and varied maturity tranches.
