Matheson, Ormsby & Prentice, P.C.

Matheson Ormsby Prentice Advises on First Italian CFO transaction
Matheson Ormsby Prentice advised BNP Paribas and Zoo HF 3 plc on the first CFO (collateralised fund obligation) transaction managed by an Italian Manager.

The Zoo 3 transaction, which involved the issuance of notes to the value of up to €150 million, is managed by P&G SGR, the Italian hedge fund and asset manager.
