Arendt & Medernach received the Digital Finance Award for its EIB digital bond deal at the IFLR Europe Awards 2023 ceremony that took place in May 2023 in London. The awards also recognise legal innovation and showcase transactions that break new legal ground, set precedents, and develop the legal environment for cross-border corporate finance.
The feedback from IFLR
A truly cross-European deal, involving lawyers from the UK, France, Germany and Luxembourg, the EIB bond is a pathfinder deal for European digital finance. The €100 million, two-year bond was issued, recorded and settled using private blockchain-based technology, via a tokenisation platform operated by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe. It is the first euro-denominated digital bond using private blockchain using centralised currency. The offering is the second digital bond issued by the bank, and this deal leads on from its first issuance in 2021.
The inaugural digital bond was issued on Ethereum public blockchain, and the use of private technology is a key difference in this deal. The aim of using this kind of technology was to give confidence to regulators around the security of the instrument, with the hope of opening the door for digital bonds to become a more mainstream product in future. The issuance marks an important milestone and step towards the digitization of the European capital markets. The EIB followed on from the deal in February 2023 with its third digital bond issuance, the first to be sterling-denominated.
