Capital Markets: Debt

ENSafrica is proud of its capital markets capabilities and its ability to advise clients on the full range of mandates ranging from IPOs, capital raisings, inward/secondary listings, B-BBEE segment listings, Special Purpose Acquisition Company listings to derivatives and MTN programmes. The ECM and DCM teams frequently advise top JSE listed companies as well as major international and domestic corporate banks as issuers and book-runners on high-value mandates.

Our key differentiator is our team’s impressive experience advising on often ‘first-of-a-kind’ transactions in South Africa such as Sasol on the largest ever offshore capital raising by a South African company (USD2,250 billion). We are able to provide advice for an entire transaction by covering the capital markets aspects but also synergizing the firms skills (such as tax and regulatory expertise) and 600+ lawyers which provides an enhanced client experience.

Recent work highlights:

• Advising the part-government owned telecoms provider, Telkom who has further increased significant investments in its network in a highly competitive market.
• Securitisation programmes for clients such as Sasfin Bank, SA Taxi Holdings and Santander Bank.
• Advise clients on ECM mandates such as the demerger of Investec’s Global Asset Management Business.
