Vedior, the Netherlands-based staffing services company, unveiled a global equity offer - just one day after VNU, the Dutch media and information firm, raised €1bn ($890m) in the equity linked market.

Merrill Lynch is the sole global coordinator and bookrunner of Vedior's secondary offering, which aims to raise between €400m and €450m in bearer depository receipts. Depository receipts are evidence of ownership of the underlying shares in a foreign company.
