The European Leveraged Finance Association (ELFA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Irem Sukan, Marios Halloumis and Glenn Oliver Anderson as the new Co-Chairs of the ESG Committee. Irem, Marios and Glenn will take over from Tina De Baere, Oliver Newman and Lily Baik following their decisions to step down.
The European Leveraged Finance Association (ELFA) has published a summary of industry roundtables, held in response to its recent Open Letter (“Taking Stock of Market Standards on Disclosure, Process, and Engagement in the European Leveraged Finance Market”) which highlighted persistent concerns around limited disclosure, overly compressed deal timelines, and increasingly restrictive transferability terms, all of which are undermining efficiency and resilience in Europe’s leveraged finance market.
The European Leveraged Finance Association (ELFA), in collaboration with global law firm Akin, has today published the second issue in its Transferability Series, focusing on the evolving use of whitelists in leveraged finance documentation.
