On 7 January 2009, Financial Company Ukranet with its seat in Kyiv, Ukraine was approved by the WSE Management Board into the WSE IPO Partner Programme aimed to attract foreign companies to the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Financial Company Ukranet is the 17th WSE IPO Partner and the 8th Partner from Ukraine.
Since 1999, the Financial Company Ukranet operates in Ukraine providing brokerage services and preparing IPOs on the PFTS exchange. In addition, the company is participating in M&A projects, is engaged in administrative as well as financial consulting and provides custody services.
As a WSE IPO Partner, the Financial Company Ukranet will cooperate with enterprises interested in raising funds on the Polish capital market equally well through public and private issues.
The WSE IPO Partner Programme, launched in Autumn of 2006, is designed to ensure the support of WSE Partners – foreign financial services providers – for WSE promotion in foreign markets. The WSE signs agreements with brokerage and investment service companies who then act as direct and indirect promoters of the Warsaw market among potential issuers established outside Poland.
Under the agreement, WSE Partners receive a special logo which they may use in their efforts to attract issuers and an opportunity to include information on their WSE-authorised partner status in letters and documents.
