Corporate Advisory
Mergers and Acquisitions
We have acted as adviser for cross-border deals and industry realignments and have increased our presence in M&A-related business by drawing on the considerable know-how and experience we have accumulated regarding defenses against hostile takeovers.
To strengthen our comprehensive services and make the most effective use of our resources, we have formed a Leveraged Finance Group. In addition to providing M&A advisory services, this group offers a full range of services to help companies raise capital, including leveraged financing secured by the cash flow of acquisition-target companies as well as bridge financing to meet the financial requirements of companies making acquisitions until they can secure ample long-term funding. During the current fiscal year, we plan to draw more fully on the capabilities of this group and offer a wider range of services.
Global Strategy
Asia: We are responding accurately and rapidly to customer needs through our organizational setup. We have regional representatives in major cities in Asia, and have assigned project team leaders to execute M&A deals and originate products in Hong Kong and other major financial centers. We have a long-standing presence and an extensive network in Asia and have steadily won the trust of our clients over the years. With this platform, we are working to win mandates for equity underwriting and M&A advisory deals and are positioned to capture major deals in Asia on an ongoing basis. We are also working to expand our business platform in Asia through providing support for fast-growing Asian companies by committing our own capital and assisting them in conducting IPOs.
Europe: In Europe, we have selected healthcare, TMT (telecommunications, media, and technology), automotive, and finance as key sectors. We are adding professional staff in these areas to enhance our ability to respond to client needs. In the healthcare field, we are using Nomura Code Securities, a U.K. investment bank specializing in the life sciences that we acquired in December 2005, to move forward with initiatives to bolster our activities in this area. In equity underwriting, we are increasing our efforts to help European healthcare and technology companies as well as Eastern and central European companies conduct IPOs and public offerings on AIM, the venture company section of the London Stock Exchange. Nomura Code Securities has already established a solid track record in the life sciences sector and is planning to apply its business model to other sectors.
The Americas: In the Americas, we have identified opportunities related to the ongoing consolidation of medium-sized financial institutions in the United States and have recruited a specialist team to develop business in this area. As we build out our business in the Americas, we are strengthening our network with Japanese clients. We are working to win deals by drawing on our strengths and collaborating with our operations in Japan and Europe. Some examples include deals targeting Japan, such as listing U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs) and start-ups on Japanese markets, and winning cross-border M&A deals between U.S. firms and companies in Asia including Japan.
