What qualifies on BME.
BME ranks among the deepest equity pools anywhere; eligibility turns on the stock itself — its free float, daily traded volume, and how concentrated the line is.
For any given BME position, our review looks at: free float and daily traded volume against the size of the transaction; your status (controlling shareholder, director, substantial shareholder) and the disclosure that follows; the issuer’s sector and listing segment; and what the transaction must do (LTV, tenor, currency, recourse, custody).
Framework cited on BME.
The principal regulatory reference on BME is Royal Decree 1362/2007 transposing the EU Transparency Directive. How it applies to any single transaction — reporting levels, step thresholds — turns on the underlying rules and national-law overlays, which we map against your contemplated transaction at the structuring stage alongside the counsel you appoint.
The citations above are public regulatory references, given for orientation only and not as legal advice. Take independent legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction for any specific transaction.
