Discover the new process for listing bonds on NYSE Euronext

The financial crisis has highlighted the role played by the bond market as a privileged financial resource for businesses while increasing investors’ appetite for listed debt instruments. Attuned to the recent changes that have affected the bond market, NYSE Euronext has established a series of measures aimed at facilitating the pairing of issuers and investors in its markets.

Shorter lead times

NYSE Euronext has set in place a simple and effective listing process that incorporates the best practices observed in Europe.
In order to reduce to the greatest extent possible the time it takes between when the decision is made and when the issue is effectively offered, the notice publication period has been reduced to four hours.
NYSE Euronext staff also works closely with the regulators and trade associations to develop a market environment that is favorable to issuers.
The recent changes made to the Paris exchange help illustrate this point

New pricing

NYSE Euronext has introduced a new pricing schedule and now posts the best standard pricing for one-time issues.
Moreover, the pricing schedule has been expanded by the addition of a special offer for EMTN programs that is suited to issuers’ needs.

Secondary market liquidity

The fast growth of the secondary market, the investor base and the depth of the market all play a key role in the success of an issue and in all future issues.
NYSE Euronext is working with renowned liquidity providers to favor liquidity on the securities listed on its trading venues.
Ten different market makers all maintain a presence in our markets in order to facilitate trading.
NYSE Euronext may assist your company on the monitoring of specific liquidity provisions agreed with the lead managers at the time of the debt issuance.

Please do not hesitate to contact NYSE Euronext staff for any additional information.
