SFP Ltd supported EPIC Suisse AG with accelerated bookbuilding

With gross proceeds of CHF 70 million from newly placed shares, the originally communicated target volume of CHF 60 million was exceeded thanks to high demand. SFP Ltd was able to contribute significantly to this successful capital raise thanks to its many years of experience in the real estate sector, its proximity to investors and its in-depth understanding of the market.

The ABB transaction was launched on 3 December 2025 by means of an announcement after the close of trading and with the exclusion of subscription rights. The new shares are ranking pari passu with the existing shares and were listed and admitted to trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange on 8 December 2025.

Another successful transaction by the SFP Ltd Corporate Finance & Capital Markets team

Florian Lemberger, Head Corporate Finance & Capital Markets: "This successful transaction marks another milestone for our experienced Corporate Finance & Capital Markets team. The first ABB for a real estate company took place in the first half of the year. The ABB process is thus proving to be an interesting alternative to discounted rights offerings. Many companies appreciate the greater flexibility it offers in terms of transaction timing."

As with the IPO of EPIC, the success of the transaction was largely due to the excellent cooperation with UBS AG (formerly Credit Suisse AG) and Zürcher Kantonalbank. As a bank-independent real estate capital market specialist, SFP Ltd was able to complement the two banks in the syndicate.  

Favourable market environment for capital raises

Christof Bertschi, Corporate Finance Manager: "The market timing was favourable for raising capital, and thanks to the capital raised, EPIC should be well positioned for further portfolio growth. The capital market is very active, and a new record in capital raises by real estate investment vehicles is expected for 2025, with a projected volume of over CHF 9 billion.“

The first transactions have already been announced for the coming year 2026. This illustrates that momentum in the real estate capital market will remain high.
