The bookrunners of a Dkr1.725bn ($312m) block of Christian Hansen stock had a nervous Wednesday evening after launching the deal and then seeing US markets sell off 2% in the last 45 minutes of New York trade. It went well, with a good level of oversubscription and subsequent share price performance, but the volatile backdrop gave another reminder – if one was needed — of the difficulty in finding windows for even the quickest of transactions.
