1400: Welcome

1415: Panel 1: Business Market Update

Opportunities are to be found in adapting to the changing environment by exploring alternative financing options such as Alternative Credit or Secured Working Capital Finance, analysing market and economic trends to identify new potential customers or revenue streams, and understanding the supply chain of clients to identify opportunities for Cross Border financing. 

Implementing sustainable practices and technologies that improve efficiency can indeed create opportunities for growth and differentiation in several ways. We will explore some of the latest views and opinions from our panel of experts.

• Jan-Paul van de Kerke, Economist, ABN AMRO
• Dinko Mehmadagic, Managing Director, PB Factoring GmbH
• Bart Ras, Managing Director, Working Capital Finance, Pemberton Capital Advisors LLP

1600: Panel 2: The Impact of the CRR on Dealmaking & Documentation

The capital requirements for banks (CRR) are at the verge of another major overhaul with the implementation in the EU of the final Basel III standards. Amongst various other high impact changes, these standards introduce higher capital requirements for committed credit lines and may cause credit lines that are currently considered as uncommitted to be treated as committed going forward.

In this panel, we will shed light on those changes and their impact on loan documentation and secured finance deals.

• Oliver Böhm, General Manager, PB Factoring GmbH
• Mariëlle Ansems-Van Mourik, Director Debt Advisory, BDO
• Ravi Amin, Partner, Banking & Finance Group, Mayer Brown
• Sven Uiterwijk, Partner, NautaDutilh
