European High Yield Association to integrate with The Bond Market Association

New York, Nov. 16 - The Bond Market Association said that the European High Yield Association intends to integrate its work with the Bond Market Association's European activities in London.

The European High Yield Association will be based at the Bond Market Association's offices and will draw on its professional staff.

Formed in 2001, the European High Yield Association is focused on the development of the European high-yield market and related leveraged finance products.

Members include underwriters, investors, issuers and fund managers, as well as private equity firms, rating agencies, law firms and accounting firms.

"This is a significant step for the EHYA [European High Yield Association], providing it with a full-time professional staff and strengthening its efforts with the benefit of the regulatory and lobbying resources of TBMA [the Bond Market Association] in both London and New York," said Bryant Edwards, a corporate partner at Latham & Watkins, and chairman of the European High Yield Association, in a news release.

The European High Yield Association will be looking to work on E.U. Prospectus Directive issues, European bankruptcy reform, documentation standardization, due diligence procedures, price transparency, promotion of the European high-yield market and education events.
