Pollen Street Capital and MW Eaglewood to merge, creating one of Europe's largest investment managers focussed on specialist lending assets

   -      Joint submission to manage P2P Global Investments PLC ("P2PGI") accepted by the Board 

- Firms to merge to create one of Europe's largest investment managers focussed on specialist lending assets

Following the announcement by the Board of P2PGI today, Pollen Street Capital Limited and MW Eaglewood are delighted that their joint submission to manage P2PGI has been accepted.

The two firms will now work with the Board to implement a revised, more flexible investment mandate in line with the proposal submitted to the Board during the investment management arrangement review.

As set forth in the Board's announcement, the two firms have agreed in principle to merge their operations in a share for share exchange, with Pollen Street becoming the majority shareholder of the combined investment management group, and Marshall Wace retaining a substantial shareholding. The merger is expected to be completed later this year, subject to regulatory approvals.

The combination of Pollen Street Capital and MW Eaglewood is compelling. It will create one of Europe's largest investment managers focused on specialist lending assets. It will combine the global reach, world class infrastructure and specialist platform knowledge of MW Eaglewood with the relationships, track record and industry expertise of Pollen Street Capital in a merged entity under their overall control.

Lindsey McMurray, managing partner of Pollen Street, said: "This is an excellent outcome - good strategic outcome for P2P Global Investments PLC, and its shareholders. Good for both firms, and good for the industry. The combination of Pollen Street and MW Eaglewood is a very strong investment management entity, bringing deep capability in investment management, risk, compliance, analytics, technology and origination of both to the management of P2PGI and to the emerging opportunities across the specialist lending industry. We are looking forward to working together and executing both the merger and a revised, more flexible mandate."

Ian Wace, chief executive of Marshall Wace, said: "The Board of P2PGI challenged us to come up with a strategic solution for the management of the trust and to enhance returns. We accepted their challenge and the result is an outcome which is truly transformative, creating a major new industry player with deep and market leading capability in specialist credit. I would like to thank the Board for the huge efforts they have undertaken during this review, and I would also like to thank shareholders whose views have been front and centre of all of our minds throughout the process. Bringing together two companies is always non trivial, but when approached in the constructive way I have observed, I am hugely excited about the future prospects for the manager and for P2PGI shareholders in a growing market."

Simon Champ, CEO of Eaglewood Europe, said: "Since the inception of P2PGI plc in June 2014 the market opportunity and structure for non-bank lending has changed immeasurably. The combination of MW Eaglewood and Pollen Street gives the manager an unparalleled breadth of skill-set and origination sources. We strongly believe the merger uniquely equips the manager for the future evolution of the industry."
