Appleby Securities (Channel Islands) Ltd (“Appleby”) with the support of and The International Stock Exchange (TISE) has worked on a significant number of listings of debt securities on TISE.

LISTING HIGH YIELD BONDS

Since 2016, an increasing number of issuers of high yield bonds have chosen TISE as the stock exchange of choice in order to list high yield bonds. In fact, there were 202 newly listed High Yield Bonds across 2021 and 2022. TISE is a “recognised stock exchange” by, amongst others, HMRC and is uniquely positioned in Europe but outside the EU and UK, providing a proportionate disclosure regime. TISE’s robust but proportionate listing rules, combined with TISE’s pragmatic and commercial approach to listings, often appeals to issuers from the UK, Europe, the US and Asia.

These high yield bonds tend to be issued under New York law governed offer documents, and are marketed to qualified institutional investors and sophisticated investors under Rule 144A of the United States Securities Act of 1933. Appleby works closely alongside New York lawyers and advisers, in order to list the high yield bonds on TISE.
