Posted at 25/9/2024 18:56 by davius In London's FTSE 100, Rentokil jumped 4.2% after an activist investor secured a seat on the board.Rentokil appointed Brian Baldwin to its board as a non-executive director with effect from October 1. Baldwin is the head of research of Trian Fund Management LP, an investment management firm, run by Nelson Peltz. Previously, Trian has agitated for change at amongst others, Walt Disney Co, although it was ultimately defeated. "Trian believes Rentokil has significant potential and runway for growth that can be achieved by leveraging its strong brands and market leading positions, particularly in the US. I look forward to working with management and the board to identify options to help drive long-term value that will benefit all stakeholders," Baldwin said in a statement. There has been speculation that Trian will push for the company to take a US listing, where the majority of its business is conducted. Earlier in September, Rentokil warned slower growth in North America and the strong pound will dent full-year profit. It was the latest blow for the firm, which cut guidance in July, and also back in October 2023. |

At this stage, there can be no guarantee that the proposed Transaction will complete nor as to the final terms of the proposed Transaction. Further announcements and updates will be made in due course. Jason Smart, Founder of Ashington Innovation, commented: "We are delighted to have agreed a heads of terms to acquire Cell Therapy. During the past few months, we have reviewed numerous projects and believe the proposed acquisition meets our stated objective of identifying a potentially extremely valuable entity capable of sustainable development and with significant technological advantages.

Posted at 10/6/2023 16:20 by hedgehog 100 Hedgehog 100 18 Nov '22 - 18:00 - 1004 of 1012 Edit 0 0 0"Thanks Sweet Karolina. So to summarise:- • 'Pre-existing' main-listed shells that listed by 2.12.21 can still arrange a sub £30M. RTO (minimum only £0.7M.), up until 1.12.23 completed FCA submissions; after that they can still arrange RTOs, but subject to the £30M. minimum. • 'New' main-listed shells can still float with a sub £30M. market cap. (previous minimum only £0.7M.), up until 2.6.23*, if they completed their FCA submission by 2.12.21. - But these shells will be subject to the £30M. RTO minimum. *Presumably actual listing, rather than just another submission." The shell Ashington Innovation (ASHI) floated on the main market 4 days ago, and has a current market cap. at 3.5p of £2.15M.; its final prospectus date was 1st. June, so it could well be that the the 2nd. June deadline relates to the final prospectus date. ASHI's prospectus dated 1st. June 2023:- 06/06/2023 08:01 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Ashington Innovation PLC Ashington - Admission to trading on the LSE LSE:ASHI Ashington Innovation Plc "Ashington Innovation plc, a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") aiming to benefit from favourable price conditions for companies in the financial services technology (fintech) and deep technology (deep tech) sectors, is pleased to announce that its entire issued ordinary share capital, consisting of 61,397,900 ordinary shares, was admitted to the Standard Listing Segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority, and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities at 8.00 a.m. today, under the ticker "ASHI". ..." |
Posted at 18/11/2022 18:38 by hedgehog 100 Regarding your questions S.K.The RTO route may have attractions to the IPO route that may give it additional 'value' to a company wishing to float:- • A requirement to give away less equity than in an IPO. • Potentially more speed and certainty - an aborted IPO due to market conditions could be very expensive, and time is money. • The 'shellmeisters' may also have attractive business acumen, contacts, and 'clout', that may be attractive to the floating company. And if the company floating is valued at hundreds of millions, then a shell value of a few £millions may be just 1% of the expanded equity, which is comparatively insignificant. Obviously any overpriced new issue, be it RTO or IPO, is likely to underperform compared to a good value new issue, other things being equal. But a key determinant of performance is how the company performs on a business level. Some of the best performing shares of all time have looked far from cheap at their floatation prices; whereas some shares that have looked cheap at float have failed to deliver. Finally, if you look at some the big paper gains at proposed RTOs recently, as posted on this thread, then I think that explains the logic in getting in beforehand if the value and prospects look good. You can also buy more at the RTO too if you like it, though retail investors often can't participate in fundraisings, and investing through an ISA or SIPP would be another barrier. |
Posted at 16/11/2022 19:13 by hedgehog 100 From the Alterion Earth (ALTE) prospectus, 17.6.22:-"Size of Acquisition Target: The Company will not comply with the minimum market capitalisation ("MMC") requirements of £30 million under LR 2.2.7R(1) on Admission. The Company completed submission to the FCA for a listing eligibility review prior to 4:00 pm on 2 December 2021 and such application has not been withdrawn or materially amended ("IPO Application"). Given the IPO Application and the proposed date for Admission, the Company is able to proceed with its current application for Admission based on transitional arrangements established for application for admission to listing. On Admission, the aggregate market value for all shares to be listed by the Company must exceed £700,000. An Acquisition will result in a Reverse Takeover which would result in the cancellation of the Company's listing and it would need to apply for the enlarged share capital of the Company to be admitted to trading. At such point, the eligibility of the Company would need to be reassessed. Whilst the Directors believe that they will be able to undertake an Acquisition which will enable it to comply with any adjusted MMC requirement of £30 million, the Directors cannot guarantee to investors that the Company will be able to satisfy the new eligibility requirements. If the Company is unable to satisfy new eligibility requirements its listing will be cancelled, and this may result in the Shareholders holding Ordinary Shares in an untraded public company or it may otherwise seek a listing on an alternative stock exchange which may not provide similar levels of liquidity" "For a company to be eligible for a premium or standard listing of shares, it must have a minimum market capitalisation of £30 million. This is a substantial increase above the long-standing previous minimum of £700,000, but less than the £50 million originally proposed by the FCA. The requirement only applies when the company is first listed, or on re-listing after a reverse takeover, so existing listed companies will be largely unaffected. There are also exceptions for companies that applied to the FCA for a listing eligibility review before the rule change, and existing listed SPACs and other shell companies that seek an FCA eligibility review in relation to a de-SPAC acquisition and re-listing by 1 December 2023." Sweet Karolina, New main-listed shells now need a minimum initial market cap. of £30M., unless they initiated the process by 2.12.21, and haven't withdrawn or materially amended it. In addition, my understanding is that new RTOs into a main-listed shell need a minimum initial expanded market cap. of £30M., unless the shell was listed by 2.12.21, and the RTO FCA process is initiated by 1.12.23. With regard to your final point: not all proposed RTOs proceed, for different reasons, but I haven't noticed your trend. CCAP was an AIM shell that delisted, so it was hardly surprising that its target no longer wished to reverse into it. If CCAP had remained listed the RTO would probably have proceeded. MTFB's target, rejected by its shareholders, also then IPOed, but would have gone with MTFB if that had been approved. |
