The transaction represents a key milestone in the development of the BTG group in Europe and in the life of BTG Europe. The admission of the programme will enable BTG Europe to access public markets while maintaining full compliance with Luxembourg and EU prudential and financial markets regulation.

BTG Pactual Europe S.A is part of BTG Pactual Group, which is one of the largest banking groups in Latin America.

From a capital markets perspective, the transaction involved the preparation of the listing and offering documentation, the admission process with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and the implementation of a compliant bond offering structure under applicable EU securities laws.

In parallel, the transaction included a significant regulatory workstream, reflecting BTG’s status as a supervised credit institution. Our team provided integrated advice across capital markets, tax, and financial regulatory matters, leveraging our expertise in Luxembourg securities law, banking regulation, and financial supervision. We assisted in navigating the regulatory sensitivities associated with a bank, aligning disclosure, governance and supervisory expectations in a public market’s context.

The transaction stands out as highly significant as it showcases the attractiveness of Luxembourg for large banking groups which want to establish a strong foothold in Europe.
