## What PrivateShares does

- **Share option loans** — non-recourse and limited-recourse facilities against pre-IPO equity and vested options.

- **Eurobond issuance** — debut and repeat Reg S senior unsecured and green bond issues for emerging-market corporates and utilities.
- **Energy project finance** — solar, wind and energy-transition portfolios from origination to financial close.

- **Corporate structuring and funding readiness** — DIFC/free-zone holding platforms, international expansion, banking introductions and pre-IPO readiness.

## Why organisations use PrivateShares

Companies and institutions engage PrivateShares when bank channels alone cannot deliver the size, structure or cross-border reach required — for example Turkish corporates and financial institutions seeking foreign-currency capital, ECA cover or international investors, or European shareholders needing liquidity without a full sale.
