Hogan Lovells Advised Joint Lead Managers On Beequip’s Inaugural Public Securitisation
Hogan Lovells advised joint lead managers on Beequip’s inaugural public securitisation
Global law firm Hogan Lovells has advised the joint lead managers (BNP Paribas, Bank of America and Citibank) on Hive 2025-1, a €500 million public securitisation backed by leases across diverse asset classes, including transport, construction, and maritime equipment. This is Beequip’s debut public securitisation.
The transaction featured €377.5 million in senior notes rated AAA by S&P, DBRS, and Fitch, underscoring strong market confidence and compliance with EU securitisation standards.
This transaction represents a landmark development in the Dutch asset-backed securities (ABS) market, as it is the first time that specialised heavy equipment lease receivables have been included in a public securitisation. By doing so, it expands access to funding for SME equipment finance and sets a precedent for future innovation in the sector.
The Hogan Lovells team was led by Robert Masman (Partner) and Julian Craughan (Partner) and Dylan Goedegebuure (Counsel), with support from Alexander Fortuin (Partner), Emil Arca (Partner), Stephen Bate (Counsel), Lauren Kimmel (Senior Associate) and the Finance and Tax teams in Amsterdam, London and New York.
