Frankfurt/Main – Telefónica Germany GmbH & Co. OHG has raised EUR 300 million from institutional investors through a combined transaction involving promissory note loans and registered bonds. This successful capital raising is one of the biggest promissory note transactions of the year and the first of its kind for Telefónica Germany GmbH & Co. OHG.

A CMS team led by partners Philipp Melzer and Oliver Dreher advised Telefónica Germany on all legal aspects of the registered bonds.
