Allen & Overy advised BNP Paribas, as arranger, dealer and liability swap provider, and Banca Finanziaria Internazionale, as arranger, in the updating of Banca Popolare di Sondrio’s EUR5 billion covered bond issuance programme, guaranteed by POPSO Covered Bond, in light of new Italian legislation on the issuance of covered bonds.
