On behalf of #BNPParibasFortis Equity Capital Markets, we would like to thank our partners for the renewed trust and collaboration in executing all those transactions in 2023. While equity capital markets have remained challenging to navigate, most of our Belgian corporate clients have been able to successfully execute intended transactions to achieve their strategic objectives. The variety of activities #BNPParibasFortis ECM acted as a lead bank on, across different formats (Accelerated Bookbuildings - primary and secondary, Rights Issue and Spin-off) and wide range of sizes, talks to the unique strength of our European platform and distribution capacity. Leading both the largest accelerated share placement in Belgium since 2017 (€2.2Bn sell-down in BNP Paribas by the SFPIM) as well as the third largest listing ever on Euronext Brussel (€10.5Bn Solvay/Syensqo spin-off), makes it absolutely a year to remember, and motivates us even more to continue supporting the Belgian corporate world in 2024. Until then, we wish you all a Merry Christmas, a wonderful New Year and we look very much forward to an interesting 2024 with all of you!
