This document, which comprises an AIM admission document prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies, has been issued in connection with the application for admission to trading of the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of the Company to trading on AIM. This document contains no offer of transferable securities to the public within the meaning of sections 85 and 102B of the FSMA, the Act or otherwise. Accordingly, this document does not constitute a prospectus within the meaning of section 85 of the FSMA and has not been drawn up in accordance with the Prospectus Rules or approved by, or filed with, the FCA or any other competent authority. Application has been made for the ordinary share capital of the Company, issued and to be issued pursuant to the Placing, to be admitted to trading on AIM.

  • The Provision of Growth Capital to UK Small and Medium Sized Enterprises
    This review, led by venture capitalist Chris Rowlands, aims to examine the market for growth capital available to UK small and medium sized enterprises. Combining evidence from interviews and quantitative analysis, it examines how effectively the markets for bank and venture capital finance supply the need for growth capital, and how government might intervene to ensure that UK companies with the potential to grow have the finance they need. The Provision of Growth Capital to UK Small and Medium Sized Chris Rowlands has said: “The basic question of adequacy of access to capital for SMEs is not Enterprises a new one and a conclusion of a market gap in provision is unlikely to be controversial. However, the Government was right to ask for an urgent update of the analysis and arguments. Our economy cannot afford the dynamic SME segment to be constrained in its growth and competitiveness, especially with recovery ahead.” 23 November 2009 ISBN 978-0-11-515525-3 9 780115 155253 www.tso.co.uk 6331 Rowlands Cover v0_1.indd 1 24/11/09 15:33:21 The Provision of Growth Capital to UK Small and Medium Sized Enterprises 23 November 2009 London: TSO 6331 Rowlands GCR v0_2.indd 1 24/11/09 15:20:06 Published by TSO (The Stationery Office) and available from: Online www.tsoshop.co.uk Mail, Telephone, Fax & E-mail TSO PO Box 29, Norwich, NR3 1GN Telephone orders/General enquiries: 0870 600 5522 Fax orders: 0870 600 5533 E-mail: [email protected] Textphone 0870 240 3701 TSO@Blackwell and other Accredited Agents Customers can also order publications from: TSO Ireland 16 Arthur Street, Belfast BT1 4GD Tel 028 9023 8451 Fax 028 9023 5401 Published with the permission of the Department for Business Innovation and Skills on behalf of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.

  • 2010 UK Private Equity Transaction Report
    2010 UK Private Equity Transaction Report Marble Hill Partners Interim Management & Executive Search January 2011 www.marblehillpartners.com 0208 948 1771 Contents Pg Introduction 3 2010 Transactions (in alphabetical order) 4 – 9 Analysis 10 Transactions by type 10 Transactions by sector 11 Consumer Sector transactions 11 Transactions by month 12 Transactions by size 13 2010 Exits 14 Conclusion 15 Introduction Welcome to Marble Hill Partners research and analysis of activity in the UK Private Equity market in 2010. As a specialist interim management and executive search consultancy for Private Equity backed businesses it is in our own interest to monitor where and with whom MBO/MBI’s, SBO’s, Trade and IPO exits are completed. The data we have collated from Trade Press and Investor Press Releases is extensive and whilst we cannot guarantee that our research is 100% accurate (not all deals are publicised and in many cases values are undisclosed) we are keen to share our research and observations with our industry. We have only made note of deals with transaction sizes of £5 million and above. We logged 157 transactions with a total value of £17.6 billion, with a mean deal size of £127 million, however deals such as Tomkins £2.9 billion skew this figure. Perhaps a more accurate indicator is the median of £45 million. In this summary you will find an alphabetical index of all the deals recorded and a number of charts and graphs which reflect some of our observations. If you completed or know of transactions which haven’t been included then please do let us know and we will update the report for future reference.
