Public Company and Take-Over Advice

 

Transactions undertaken by public companies face unprecedented levels of scrutiny from regulators, shareholders, staff, competitors and the media. Working on such transactions requires in-depth experience and knowledge from a wide range of advisers.

Our approach combines traditional merger and acquisition (M&A) skills of identifying, valuing, structuring and negotiating transactions with the market-focused knowledge of our Public Company Advisory Group.

This group has a wide range of experience of advising on regulated transactions including:

  • Public offers for limited companies (hostile or recommended).
  • Bid defence.
  • Rule 3 advisory work, i.e. providing independent advice to the board of a target company.
  • Fundraising from debt and equity markets.
  • Sponsorship of rights issues and placings (secondary issues).
  • Major (Class 1) acquisitions and disposals which require shareholder approval.
  • Related party transactions.
  • Strategic reviews, including company reorganisation and restructuring.
  • Public-to-private transactions.

Even with no transaction we can provide advice as one team, incorporating equity market, debt finance and valuation skills.

Are you:

  • A public company seeking to undertake a significant acquisition or disposal?
  • Looking to acquire all of, or a significant stake in, a public company?
  • A public company seeking an offer?
  • A public company vulnerable to a hostile approach?
  • A smaller quoted company looking to raise funds due to capital shortage?
  • Looking to return funds to shareholders?
