Be a Better Borrower

How to Improve Bond Reporting in 5 Simple Steps

 

Streamline the bond reporting process. 

With Intralinks, issuers can leverage tools that help streamline the post-close reporting process. Intralinks Virtual Data Rooms (or VDRs) give investors secure access to current and historical information about the bond or the corporation, while minimizing many of the manual workflows that issuers face. In addition, Intralinks Private Label Service allows issuers to customize VDRs to match the look and feel of existing corporate branding, so investors have a seamless web-based user experience.

Report consistently.

The best borrowers keep their investors informed throughout the life of the bond. When it comes to bond reporting, however, most issuers of debt private placements use email or FedEx, which can be a manual, inefficient and less secure process. As a result, communication with bondholders is ad hoc and can dwindle during closing and after, during the reporting phase.

Getting Ready

Before the VDR opens…

Contact your agent bank. Ask if they’ve already launched an exchange for due diligence and marketing. It’s likely they did— and can arrange for VDR rights and content to be transferred over to you.

Add custom branding and alerts

Employ Intralinks’ Private Label Service, which will enable you to present information to investors under your corporation’s own brand.
