Fundraising momentum continues, with 11 funds being marketed and new secondaries strategy launched

Fund Management Company strategy delivering with profits up 48% to a record £52.0m (2014: £35.1m), with an increase in performance fees

Board proposes a £300m special dividend for 2015 and reaffirms its commitment to increasing the Group's return on equity to over 13% through growth and, by July 2016, re-gearing the balance sheet to within a range of 0.8 - 1.2 times

22nd July 2015

Amendment to Official List, Share Consolidation and Total Voting Rights
Further to the approval by shareholders of the special dividend and associated share consolidation at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 15th July 2015, the Company's share consolidation will become effective at 8am on Thursday 23rd July 2015.

The share consolidation will replace every 7 existing ordinary shares of 20 pence each with 6 new Ordinary shares of 231/3 pence each. The Company's new ordinary shares will be amended on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and will commence trading on the London Stock Exchange at 8.00 am UK time on Thursday 23rd July 2015.

Prior to the share consolidation becoming effective, the Company's issued share capital was 385,231,542 Ordinary shares of 20 pence each (ISIN: GB0004564430) including 4,900,000 shares held in treasury. For the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company's issued share capital as at 8.00 am on Thursday 23rd July 2015 (the effective time of the share consolidation) will consist of 330,198,465 new Ordinary shares of 23 1/3 pence each (ISIN: GB00BYY5B507). As at the same date and time, the Company will hold 4,200,000 ordinary shares in treasury.

The decrease in the issued share capital and total voting rights results from the consolidation of shares.

The Company will at that time have 325,998,465 ordinary shares in issue if treasury shares are excluded. The figure of 325,998,465 total voting rights may therefore be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine (if they are required to notify) their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Record date for entitlement to the special dividend of 81.6p per existing ordinary share and the share consolidation 22nd July 2015.

Seems to have hit a bit of a bad patch. This is on my watchlist as the yield is approx 4%, but not sure why the recent drop in the sp happened. As usual the brokers are no help at all!

Intermediate Capital Group plc (ICG) announces its first half results for the six months ended 30 September 2015.

Operational highlights
Total AUM up 12% to €20.2bn, with €3.2bn of new money raised; third party fee earning AUM up 18% to €14.4bn

Our strong fundraising start to the year was mainly driven by our European funds - European Mezzanine and Senior Debt Partners - raising a total of €2.2bn. With these funds substantially raised, the pace of fundraising in the second half is expected to be slower

Fundraising across multiple strategies and geographies continues with five first time funds and four successor funds being marketed

All funds investing on target whilst maintaining credit discipline in a competitive market

Resilient portfolio, net impairments at £18.1m (H1 2015: £21.1m), and unrealised capital gains remaining strong

Financial highlights
Group profit before tax down 2% to £93.9m (H1 2015: £95.7m)
Fund Management Company strategy delivering increased profits, up 9% to £29.0m (H1 2015: £26.7m)
Investment company profit is 6% lower at £64.9m (H1 2015: £69.0m)

Return on equity of 12.1% (H1 2015: 9.8%) and gearing of 0.80x (H1 2015: 0.39x), both up on prior year

Interim ordinary dividend up 4.3% to 7.2 pence per share in addition to the £300m special dividend paid in July

The Board reaffirms its commitment to increasing the Group's return on equity to over 13% through growth and, by July 2016, re-gearing the balance sheet to well within the range of 0.8-1.2 times


Commenting on the results, Christophe Evain, CEO, said:
"The first half of the financial year has been another period of successful execution of our strategy. We have generated over €3 billion of new fund inflows, identified and executed further good investment opportunities with discipline in a competitive environment, and continued to demonstrate the resilience of our investment portfolio. We have also returned £300m to shareholders by way of a special dividend, increasing our gearing, which together with our sustained growth are driving return on equity higher.

"ICG's fundraising focus in the second half will be principally on our newer strategies. Although these newer strategies take greater time and resource to raise, they set the foundations for us to increase the diversity and long term profitability of our fund management business.

"Our expectation remains that only those asset managers with proven track records, the deepest origination networks and most differentiated product offerings will continue to be able to deploy capital profitably in the current competitive investment environment. We remain well positioned to deliver our strategic objectives and generate improving returns for our shareholders."
