EQS-News: Finexity AG: FINEXITY and Lewisfield Join Forces in the SME Bond Market

• Strategic partnership established: FINEXITY and Lewisfield enter into a cooperation agreement targeting the mid-market bond segment
• Full-spectrum capability: Mid-market issuers gain one-stop access to conventional, tokenized, and hybrid bond structures
• Origination meets infrastructure: Lewisfield leads advisory and issuer origination; FINEXITY provides the regulatory and technical backbone

Germany's mid-market bond segment is experiencing a revival in a volatile rate environment. Fixed-income securities with defined maturities are regaining traction among investors, while issuers are under growing pressure to reduce their dependence on relationship banking. At the same time, the German Electronic Securities Act (eWpG) has established the regulatory framework for tokenized debt instruments, opening up new options for issuers in terms of structuring and distribution.

Into this landscape step FINEXITY, operator of a digital marketplace infrastructure for tokenized securities, and Lewisfield, one of Germany's leading advisory firms for SME capital market financing. Their new partnership addresses precisely this convergence: where Lewisfield knows the issuer, FINEXITY knows the infrastructure. The cooperation and placement agreement now formalized between the two firms combines their respective core competencies in the German bond market.

Lewisfield identifies and advises mid-market companies on their path to the capital markets, and under the new partnership will direct these clients to the FINEXITY platform. FINEXITY provides technical settlement, marketplace infrastructure, and investor access – drawing on a track record of more than 250 successfully completed bond issuances across corporate, real estate, and infrastructure financings, as well as over 84,000 registered investors. The infrastructure is deployed as a SaaS solution by institutional issuers, financial intermediaries, and banks and savings institutions, and is now also available to mid-market issuers from the Lewisfield network through this partnership.

"Mid-market companies are actively looking for financing alternatives beyond their house bank and to successfully do so, they need partners who can guide them through the entire process from start to finish. Lewisfield brings exactly that advisory expertise, while FINEXITY provides the infrastructure behind it. Together, we can offer issuers the full spectrum of modern bond structures," said Roman Exenberger, Head of Debt Capital Markets (DCM) at Finexity AG.

Marc Speidel, Managing Director of Lewisfield Deutschland GmbH, added: "Mid-market bonds remain attractive, particularly in a volatile market environment where fixed-income instruments are once again gaining relevance for investors. The partnership with FINEXITY now enables us to offer our clients tokenized bond structures alongside conventional formats, making the entire issuance process more efficient."

Through the partnership, issuers can leverage FINEXITY Access – the platform's digital subscription module – under the issuer privilege regime as well as under MiFID II, covering both conventional bearer bonds and tokenized securities under the eWpG. Lewisfield ranks among the leading players in the German SME bond market and has advised on bond transactions totaling over EUR 100 million.
