PLMJ advises EuroBic on EUR 1.2 billion securitisation

PLMJ advised EuroBic on the sale of a portfolio of around €1.2 billion of residential mortgage credit, the bank's first Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) securitisation.

The PLMJ team that advised on this securitisation was led by Gonçalo dos Reis Martins, a partner from the Capital Markets and Banking and Finance practices. The team also included Kathleen Hoffmann Barley and Carolina Antunes.

Gonçalo Reis Martins: “This was a very demanding process as it was executed in a short space of time. It was also particularly challenging in view of the current pandemic and the resulting implications for the interaction with the rating agencies”.

The securitisation bonds were rated by the agencies Moody’s and S&P, and they were admitted to trading on Euronext Lisbon.
