KŠB Advises J&T Banka, UniCredit and PPF banka on the Next Phase of EMMA Capital’s Bond Programme
KŠB has continued its legal advisory role in connection with investment group EMMA Capital’s bond programme, which has been generating sustained and strong investor interest.
The latest tranche of EMMA Capital bonds, amounting to CZK 1.25 billion with the possibility of an increase up to CZK 2 billion, will now be offered by J&T Banka, UniCredit and PPF banka. According to recent media coverage, the issue has attracted significant attention, particularly from retail investors, with demand in certain cases exceeding the offered volume.
As with the previous tranches, the bonds issued under this third tranche will be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Prague Stock Exchange and will be secured, among other things, by shareholdings in key holding companies of the group.
KŠB’s legal advice in this transaction focused primarily on capital markets matters and regulatory aspects of the cross-border issuance. KŠB’s team was led by senior associate Josef Kříž and supervised by partner Vlastimil Pihera.
The continued development of the programme confirms the market’s ongoing appetite for well-structured bond offerings and further highlights KŠB’s experience in capital markets transactions and complex financings with an international dimension.

Suburbanization Trends and Sustainable Commuting: Will the Construction Act Amendment Change the Landscape?
The discussion surrounding the current proposal to amend the Construction Act (Parliamentary Print 67) has moved to the committee stage in the Chamber of Deputies following its first reading. The primary declared objective is the acceleration of construction, particularly regarding residential buildings. The shortage of affordable housing remains a pressing issue in major cities, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, giving rise to the pervasive trend of suburbanization. This raises the question: does the proposed amendment truly have the ambition to reverse this trend, and will an increase in housing construction alone suffice?
