In this webinar we explore US companies on the London Stock Exchange ("the Exchange") five years on from the launch of the electronic trading and settlement system launched jointly by the Exchange and Euroclear UK and Ireland (EUI) to support compliance with Regulation S, Category 3 (Reg S, Cat 3) requirements under US securities laws.

(For additional information on this system see the Forum updates HERE, HERE, and HERE.)

We explore IPOs, secondary offerings, and trading on the secondary markets for US companies for potential issuers, financial advisors, market intermediaries, and legal advisors. We also answer questions from attendees on legal and commercial queries.

We have assembled a range of market experts to share their expertise, including:

• Deepa Kalikiri, Head of Legal, Boku
• Chris Mayo, Head of Primary Markets, America, the London Stock Exchange Group
• Tim Metcalfe, Managing Director, IFC Advisory Limited
• Nick Prowting, Associate Director, Investment Banking, Peel Hunt
• Edward Bibko, General Counsel for EMEA and Asia, Jefferies (Co-Moderator)
• Daniel Winterfeldt, Partner, Reed Smith (Co-Moderator)

Please join us for this special event and please feel free to pass this invitation along to anyone you think may be interested in attending.

The Forum for US Securities Lawyers in London (the "Forum") is teaming up again with Thomson Reuters Practical Law to bring you an ECM-focused webinar to update you on business and legal trends in UK capital markets.

We will kick off with a business-focused discussion with market experts (including the London Stock Exchange and Reuters) to talk about ECM trends in the first half of 2020 and our predictions for the second half.

This will be followed by an ECM legal discussion with top practitioners which will include an update on the legal impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other legal and regulatory changes that impacted UK ECM in the first half of 2020 and those that are in the pipeline.

Panelists:

• Tom Attenborough, Head of International Business Development, Primary Markets, London Stock Exchange
• Edward Bibko, General Counsel for EMEA and Asia, Jefferies
• Mike Dolan, Editor-at Large, Financial Industry and Financial Markets, Reuters
• Laura Holleman, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs
• Silvia Viviano, Managing Director Equity Capital Markets, J.P. Morgan
• Daniel Winterfeldt (QC (Hon), Partner, Global Capital Markets & US Securities, Reed Smith LLP

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a dramatic and wide-ranging impact on our way of life and created huge economic pressures around business continuation and working capital for public companies. We have seen a surge in capital raised through secondary offerings as one tool to relieve this pressure.

Please join the Forum for US Securities Lawyers in London for a timely discussion of the hot topics and market practice relevant to US Securities issues in these most recent COVID-19-related secondary offerings. Panelists:

Edward Bibko, General Counsel EMEA and Asia, Jefferies

Peter Castellon, Partner, Proskauer

Jennifer Shen, COO, Investec Investment Banking
