The European Wholesale Securities Market (EWSM) has had its first listing on the EU regulated market.

Grand Harbour I BV, an issuer registered in the Netherlands, listed seven classes of securities on the EWSM.

EWSM is authorised as an EU ‘regulated market’ for wholesale debt securities by the Malta Financial Services Authority.

A joint venture between the Irish Stock Exchange and the Malta Stock Exchange, EWSM utilises their combined service strengths to deliver a truly European market to meet the needs of arrangers and issuers of wholesale debt products.

Henry Schmeltzer, director of Commercial Strategy and Head of Legal at Mediterranean Bank plc, which is acting as initial seller and sub-adviser on the deal, said: “We are delighted to be involved in the first listing on the EWSM and we hope to be involved in future transactions on the market.”

Gerard Scully, director of International Primary Markets at the Irish Stock Exchange, said: “Our feedback from market participants continues to be positive and we are confident we will see more international debt securities list on EWSM during 2013.”
