Merlin Entertainments brings forward deadlines to participate in IPO

Mon, 04 November 2013




Ahead of its upcoming initial public offering (IPO), Merlin Entertainments has revised the deadlines for institutional investors to express their interest in the bookbuilding process and for the receipt of completed applications from retail investors by approved intermediaries.

The deadlines for both have now been set at 17:00 on November 7th 2013.

On October 30th the company had said that the institutional offer bookbuilding process was expected to close at 17:00 on November 11th 2013.

The last date for the receipt of applications by Intermediaries had been set at 17:00 on November 8th.

The company continues to envisage that around 85-90% of the global offer will be allocated to institutional investors through the institutional offer.

Twitter raises the projected price range for its IPO

Mon, 04 November 2013


Social media firm Twitter has raised the projected price range for shares at its initial public offering by as much 25 per cent, putting it on track to raise 1.75bn dollars.

The micro-blogging site is now to offer 70m shares at an individual price of between $23 to $25, the firm said in a regulatory filing.

That would indicate a market value of as much as $13.6bn when the stock begins trading.

Twitter had earlier proposed selling shares for $17 to $20 each.

I have applied for some Merlin. Well at least I can get to be a boy again at Alton Towers on the cheap.

Also thinking about this any thoughts?

NEW IPO Offer: Infinis Energy plc

An opportunity to buy shares in Infinis Energy, the UK's third largest renewable power generator.

Infinis Energy has announced an initial public offering (IPO) of Ordinary shares on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange. Infinis Energy is one of the UK's leading generators of renewable power. It operates a growing portfolio of landfill gas, onshore wind and hydro plants across the UK. In view of the challenging decarbonisation targets adopted by the UK government by 2020, it has a unique opportunity to play an active role in building out the UK renewable power generation capacity requirements over the coming decade.

Infinis Energy operates a portfolio of 147 renewable generation sites across the UK and is in the process of developing many more, with a particular growth focus on onshore wind and hydro schemes. In the year to 31 March 2013, Infinis Energy generated approximately 7 per cent of the UK's renewable power and was the third largest renewable generator in the UK. In the past three years Infinis Energy completed acquisitions with the total enterprise value of just under £475 million. During the year £60.6 million was paid as a dividend to the shareholder. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

May help Martini - Infinis IPO pricing and intermediary offer confirmed by Terra Firma

Tue, 05 November 2013




Wind power producer Infinis Energy will be valued at up to 930m pounds in its forthcoming London flotation, the company’s private equity owner Terra Firma has announced.

Shares in Infinis, the UK’s third-largest producer of renewable power, will be priced at between 260p and 310p, producing a market capitalisation of between £780m and £930m when the shares are launched onto the London Stock Exchange on November 15th.

The entire initial public offer consists of Terra Firma, the private equity company founded by Guy Hands, selling between 90m and 120m shares, or 30% and 40% of its majority stake.

As with Royal Mail's float, the company will continue the trend of offering shares to retail investors through an intermediaries offer, via stock brokers such as Hargreaves Lansdown, Halifax, Barclays, Interactive Investor and The Share Centre, with a minimum threshold for individual investors of £1,000.

Individual retail investors have until November 13th to make their orders, while institutional order books run by Barclays, Deutsche Bank and RBC Capital Markets are scheduled to close the day after.

Ex-Asos Chairman Alli to float Indian rival Koovs on AIM

Wed, 13 November 2013



The former Chairman of online fashion sensation Asos has set out plans to float an Indian copycat online retailer on London's AIM.

Koovs has set out plans to raise £22m with its initial public offer (IPO), according to the Financial Times.

Lord Waheed Alli, the media baron who chaired Asos between 2003 and 2012, is chair of Koovs and has brought in former Asos director Robert Bready as Creative & Retail Director, who will be backed by a design and buying team based in London.

Bangalore-based Koovs was founded in 2010 as a daily deals website, but switched course to 'lifestyle e-tailing' in 2012 when a large stake was taken by Anant Nahata, scion of the family that runs India's HFCL telecoms group.

Koovs, which even has adopted a very similar website design to Asos, now focuses on affordable western fashion rather than Indian ethnic clothing, aping celebrity fashions to appeal to middle-class working men and women aged 18-30 years, exactly like the London-based company.

The owners plan to float about 35% of the company with 44% owned by the Nahata family, 11% by Lord Alli and the remainder with management.

I do not think the private investor will be offered any so have to wait for first day - whenever that will be!! Could be interesting with Robert Bready on board.

Thanks David. Still waiting for the Rosslyn Analytics IPO. £100 million float from another big data company. Should have been at the back end of the summer,

I'll keep an eye on that too looks interesting

As Shares Said ' It could be a story worth backing from the off'.
Market whispers had said Rosslyn has accelerated its float plans following the stunning success of server replication expert WANdisco

Keep your nose to the ground DC and thanks for the info! Very interesting...

Rosslyn Analytics Shortlisted for Emerging Star of the Year Award , results 20 Nov.


Just reading that as we know not all IPO's are successful - PeerTV (PTV) was the biggest disaster , down 96.8% after running into a cashflow brickwall. So you never know. :-))

Interesting article in the ST on SAGA and upcoming IPOs.

Martini; presume you will get some free shares having been a member of Saga for decades?
