CAPITAL AND MONEY MARKET

Our firm is familiar with workings of the capital market, and with the process of raising finance to meet clients needs:-

In October 1993, the firm was the Solicitor to the issue when the Gamji Bank of Nigeria Plc now International Trust Bank Plc offered 41,909,000.00 of its ordinary shares to the investing public for subscription at the rate of N1.10K per share. We prepared and/or vetted all the agreements and documentation required to take the bank to the Capital Market. These included the Prospectus, the Abridged Prospectus, the Underwriting Agreement and the Vending Agreement. The firm was also involved in numerous meetings with the Issuing House and the Bank and was present at the completion board meeting. We also liaised with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Corporate Affairs Commission on the matter until the finalization of the documentation and the closure of the public offer.

Our firm has been very active in the documentation of facilities in the money market.

The same was for the procurement of refurbished cubing lines, new sugar packages systems and new shrink foil packaging plant. We were involved in many meetings with the bank liaising with the Borrower Company, the Stamp Duties Office and the Corporate Affairs Commission.
