Nomura, Instinet Launch a New Digital Private Investment Platform

Nomura and Instinet Incorporated ("Instinet") announced today the European launch of Instinet DealMatch, a new digital private investment platform that connects institutional investors in Europe with companies looking to raise private capital.

Instinet DealMatch was designed to unlock efficiencies, speed up time to market, and broaden access to a much wider array of institutional investors than previously possible. This is achieved by using a digital platform as a hub for a range of transaction processes. In Instinet DealMatch, investors can access teasers and offering memoranda, and view ideas virtually. Nomura and Instinet will be able to execute transactions via Instinet DealMatch, including registering indications of interest and the placement of orders.
