The operation had been anticipated to BeBeez by the founder of Supply @Me , Alessandro Zamboni, who had said: "The company has originated contracts with client companies for the disposal of stock for a total of over 900 million euros and these are contracts three-year, which offer investors of securitization notes a range of returns that are more competitive than existing financial products on the market in the field of working capital ". Zamboni then added: "In the meantime we are signing agreements with institutional investors" and "shortly, in April, we will bring our first issue to the market for a value of more than 250 million euros, which will be placed on the market by an important British operator with whom we have an agreement for a total of one billion euros of emissions distributed in four operations and we will grow with a target of 3.5 billion in 2023 ?.
The British operator in question is StormHarbour Securities LLP , to which the company entrusted the placement of the abs last April (see the press release here ) and which is currently negotiating with 16 institutional investors interested in joining the first tranche of the securitization, which concerns the inventory of 40 companies reported to Supply @Me by its commercial partners (fintech, banks, professional firms, etc.), in what is defined by the company as an open funding approach. In total to date already originate corporate clients and waiting for the inventory Monetization service stood at 97 (compared with 66 to 31 December 2019) and the securitization program will cover within 12 months, the entire portfolio of Supply @me , which at the end of 2019 boasted contracts for 970 million euros .
Through the Supply @Me platform , companies can create value from their inventories, optimizing their working capital and improving the efficiency of the supply chain. Inventories are released thanks to the use of smart contracts and the use of the blockchain by Sia , the group specialized in payment infrastructures controlled by Cdp Equity. Thanks to SiaChain, the platform is able to analyze and monitor prices and quantities of the various stocks. Supply @Me buys and securitises the inventories of client companies and places the securitization notes with institutional investors. Ownership of the inventories remains in the hands of the client company, which, when it sells the goods, reimburses the securitization vehicle with additional inventories. This round lasts for 3 years and only the last transaction will be refunded in cash, while any unsold items will be repurchased by a reseller with whom Suppl
