All Rights Reserved.  \nA couple of years ago, some clever members of our corporate and finance departments inthe US sat down and created The Book of Jargon, subtitled“The Latham & Watkins Glossary of Corporate and Bank Finance Slang and Terminology”. As stated in its introduction, it was intended to be a sort of “Berlitz Course” for recent law school and business school graduates seeking initiation into the world of Wall Street, and a desktop reference for not-so-recent graduates. And what a success it has been, even now available as an app for the technology savvy amongst us. But to adapt a well known saying, the US finance community and the European finance community can often be two worlds divided by a common language (and in certain cases, even the language is different) . The aim of this publication is therefore to help those of us on this side of the pond in the same way that our original US publication has become so invaluable to many, although we believe it will also be of interest to those involved in finance around the rest of the world. We aim to assist you with the slang, terminology and down-right confusing phrases used in European capital markets (including high yield), corporate and bank finance deals (and their restructuring), essentially just enough knowledge to make you dangerous and hopefully make you look smart.  \nWelcome to our world.  \nThe definitions contained here are designed to provide an introduction to the applicable terms. The terms included herein raise complex legal issues on which specific legal advice will be required. The terms are also subject to change as applicable laws and customary practice evolve. As a general matter, The Book of Jargon European Markets is (as the name suggests) drafted from a European practice perspective but we confess to having liberally plagiarized where applicable from the original Book of Jargon. Readers might also like to check out another publication in this series The Book of Project Finance Jargon, subtitled “The Latham & Watkins Glossary of Project Development, Acquisition and Finance Slang and Terminology”.  \nThe information contained herein should not be construed as legal advice.  \nIf you have any suggestions for additional terms or expanded or clarified definitions for the current terms, please send an e-mail to [europeanglossary@lw.com](europeanglossary@lw.com).  \n2.5: used in the context of P2Ps and shorthand for the announcement required by Rule 2.5 of the Takeover Code being an announcement of a firm intention to make a takeover offer. It is very difficult to avoid making a bid once the 2.5 has been made. Also referred to as the Press Announcement but never referred to as the “two and a half”.  \n4(2): shorthand for Section 4(2) .  \n10b-5 Opinion: see Negative Assurance Letter.  \n10b-5 Rep: another name for a Rule 10b-5 Representation.  \n135 Day Rule: relevant to Bond world and the Financial Statements of the Issuer.
