ADLER Real Estate has committed to submit the issuance of the mandatory convertible bond and the creation of conditional capital for approval to the general assembly of ADLER Real Estate shareholders.

The Norton Rose Fulbright team advised on all capital markets and financing aspects of the transaction. The team was led by partner Frank Regelin (corporate/capital markets) and included partners Nadine Bourgeois, Anthony Morton (banking) and Tino Duttiné (tax), as well as of counsel Christoph Naumann (corporate/M&A) and associate Jan-Peter Heise (corporate/capital markets) in the Frankfurt office.
