ICC: interest & currency consultants

"ICC has proved to be a highly skilled, professional firm, which provided us with excellent support in refinancing our property portfolio. Thanks to them, we succeeded in concluding the refinancing on extremely favourable terms with regard to interest rates and other issues."

"In 2008, ICC assisted CSU in its refinancing during the change of shareholders. Due to good timing and a clear tendering process, the financing margins turned out to be highly competitive and generating savings. The structure of the financing is clear and flexible. What's more, the market interest rate for the refinancing is adequately covered for the longer term."

"ICC has assisted Ecoval in a complex refinancing, then supported us in setting up an In-House Bank structure by designing and realising a multi-currency cross-border cash pool. Both the international character of the two projects and the explicitly interdisciplinary cohesion between the legal, fiscal, and banking aspects made this a challenging project. Partly thanks to the ICC consultants’ highly practical and topical input, we realised a €138m club deal on really sharp conditions. In addition, we are now able to make maximum use of the financing and liquidity within the group in a highly efficient manner.

ICC assisted us throughout in meeting our financing and cash-management requirements. Their working method allowed Ecoval, whenever possible, to freely choose how and for what purposes we wanted to involve the banks."

"In 2007, ICC actively assisted us in the entire tendering process for the designation of a company bank for Grolsch. ICC's role here was both project manager and consultant to Grolsch's Financial Management: ICC's consultants were not only responsible for setting up and supervising the total Request for Proposal, but also advised in the evaluation of the proposals and the negotiations with the various banking parties.

Partly due to good timing, our financing margins can be seen as extremely competitive and Fortis Bank's multi-currency cross-border cash management structure has resulted in considerably more efficient management of the available resources. For both Grolsch and Fortis this meant a significant expansion and optimisation of the existing banking cooperation / underlying relationship."

"After inventorising Free Record Shop's objectives and future plans and making a thorough analysis of the existing financing and cash management structure, ICC’s consultants concluded that the planned refinancing could be achieved on far more competitive terms than we had assumed."

"ICC has assisted Van Wijnen’s refinancing of the group in both 2005 and 2008. This required the financing structure to be completely in line with Van Wijnen Group's specific dynamics, strategic objectives, and financial strength. ICC supported us throughout both financing procedures to our complete satisfaction. With their help we succeeded in refinancing twice under the best possible market conditions.

For many years ICC has continuously supported our Financial Management in the execution of the group's Treasury Management when it comes to dynamic monitoring of global economic developments and interest-rate movements. ICC identifies risks as well as opportunities, while helping us choose appropriate products for the coverage and real-time pricing of interest-rate products. To date Van Wijnen has been very happy with the results."

"For Nieuwe Steen Investments, ICC may act as an advisor in the background during the assessment of financing, interest-rate or treasury issues and proposals. ICC’s opinions are clear and its response is always rapid and professional. Owing to an extensive client network ICC is always abreast of current market developments, which allows for valuable contributions to the decision-making process."

"ICC is very good at helping businesses with a limited treasury function take up a strong position during negotiations with financial professionals. ICC is familiar with the current market conditions and circumstances, and makes this know-how readily available during the negotiation process. This impacts positively on the outcome. ICC has a thorough knowledge of its client’s situation, which leads to better solutions."
