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.

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.

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

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. :-))

Online fashion retailer Boohoo in major assault of international markets as it prepares for £500m flotation
By Neil Craven, Financial Mail On Sunday
PUBLISHED: 22:25, 30 November 2013 | UPDATED: 14:43, 1 December 2013
A major assault on international markets is being planned by internet fashion sensation Boohoo as it prepares for a £500million flotation next year.
The retailer is targeting France and Germany as it seeks to prove itself to investors as an ‘Asos mark II’.
Boohoo releases figures this week that are expected to show sales more than doubled to top £60 million in its last financial year to February.
Ambitious: Boohoo is targeting the Continent ahead of its flotation
The Manchester-based, family-backed firm, which appeals to the under-25s, is understood to be enjoying another exceptionally strong year.
It is believed that Boohoo, whose major market is still the UK, is more profitable than Asos because it mainly sells its own brands.
