Capital Raising

Westpac Corporate Finance advises, plans and implements capital raisings right across the capital spectrum, from debt to equity.

Equity

Acting in a financial advisory and lead manager role in relation to private equity raisings and initial public offerings, we are able to assist in all aspects of raising equity capital including structuring, pricing and valuation, offer documentation, due diligence and implementation of the marketing and distribution strategy.

With respect to private equity raisings, we have access to a deep and wide pool of institutional, high net worth, private equity and investment company investors, and we will thoroughly structure, market and arrange the capital raising according to each client’s particular needs.

With respect to public market issues, we advise our clients on the appointment of an appropriate organising broker for the equity distribution. Our independence from broking houses allows us to provide objective advice, focused exclusively on the best interests of our clients and maximising shareholder value.

Debt and Hybrid Capital

Our role in debt or hybrid financing is to help clients assess which funding alternative works best for them. Through Westpac’s vast resources we have the ability to provide clients with unparalleled access to wholesale and public debt markets, however, financing can also be obtained from alternative sources and providers. Our focus is on delivering the best financing solutions for our clients, irrespective of source.

As well as determining the optimum funding structure, Westpac Corporate Finance can also project manage the entire capital raising process, including:

• Preparation of the offering and security documentation
• Co-ordination of the necessary due diligence processes
• The development and implementation of the marketing and distribution strategy

We are able to provide access to capital through:

• Public debt issuance
• Facilitation of direct bank lending
• Facilitation of wholesale market issuance
• Arrangement of mezzanine and hybrid financing
