Our role in the transaction

Oaklins’ team in Romania acted as one of the lead arrangers and bookrunners in Romgaz’s recent US$540 million Eurobond issuance under its EMTN program. The team supported the structuring and arrangement of the transaction alongside international banks, including Citi, Erste Group, JP Morgan, Raiffeisen Bank International and UniCredit; carried out bookrunning activities, managing investor demand and pricing during the bookbuilding process; and participated in price stabilization activities as part of a consortium during the post-issuance period.
