A&O Shearman advises on International Workplace Group plc financing transactions

The transactions involve the issue of a EUR575 million investment grade bond and the provision of a new USD720m syndicated revolving credit facility, along with various bilateral guarantee facilities.

This was the inaugural investment grade bond issued by International Workplace Group plc, an international provider of hybrid workplaces.

Jane Glancy, who led the A&O Shearman Banking team, said: “The transaction, which involved several specialist teams from A&O Shearman across the U.K., the U.S. and Luxembourg as well as co-ordination with local teams in Jersey and Switzerland, really showcased our ability to execute complex, cross-border transactions at speed.”
