BNP Paribas, has raised €112m ($100m) through an accelerated bookbuild for Omega Pharma, a Belgian pharmaceuticals firm, which the bank says is the largest follow-on offering in Belgium this year.
The French bank and local firm Petercam were joint lead managers. BNP Paribas won the pitch for the deal in a boost to the bank's non-French business. A source close to the deal said: "It is an example of us cross-selling from our lending business and the company wanted a big player."
