Both listed and non-listed companies issued bonds whose volume mostly ranged between EUR 10 and 100 million. Although not all issuers were able to raise the desired volume the bonds found their buyers in most of the cases - including both institutional and private investors. remains The trend was supported by the stock exchanges which created special platforms such as the Entry Standard for Bonds. Lower disclosure requirements and the absence of a rating under certain conditions should ease the way to the capital markets. But the simplified entry requirements, lower transparency levels, lower credit ratings and, not least, the high volatility in the capital markets were reflected in partly very high coupons, sometimes even in the low double digits. This meant increasing capital costs for the issuers. Despite these higher financing costs the bond market is still flourishing up-to-date and it suggests that the issuing of SME bonds should continue keeping things interesting.

3 Room Frankfurt 11:00 Entry and Prime Standard for bonds Debt financing via Deutsche Börse AG In addition to raising equity capital, companies can use Deutsche Börse segments to raise debt capital. Due to comparatively moderate transparency requirements, this access to the capital market is ideal for SMEs wishing to retain their company structure. Among the advantages of raising debt capital is the increased independence from banks, higher flexibility in the application of the proceeds of the issue as well as the possibility of raising greater volumes than through a bank credit. / Eric Leupold, Deutsche Börse AG, Xetra Issuer Services / Michael Rieß, Deutsche Börse AG, Vice President 11:45 Successful placements of corporate bonds Case study: KTG Agrar Success factors in bond issues for mid-sized companies / Andreas Wegerich, youmex Invest AG, Member of the Executive Board 12:30 S&P Ratings as internal and external steering and communication instruments Expert Presentation, hosted by Deutsche Börse AG Expert Presentation, hosted by youmex Invest AG / S&P in Germany / S&P ratings' process and corporate ratings criteria / Issuer and Issue ratings and their dependency / Performance of corporate ratings / Relationship with a rating agency / Florian Stapf, Standard & Poor s Credit Market Services, Director / Client Business Management / Tobias Mock, Standard & Poor s Credit Market Services, CFA/Managing Director/Lead Analytical Manager 13:30 Lunch break and Exhibition Expert Presentation, hosted by Standard and Poor's Credit Market Services 14:45 Creditor Relations in IBOs From placement to daily business / How do you make money?
