Reverse Takeovers (RTO)
We are able assist companies looking to pursue a reverse takeover, an acquisition where a company acquires a business larger than itself. This process can be complex in terms of structure, but our team is equipped to help streamline it, including managing the due diligence requirements similar to those of a standard IPO.
After an RTO is completed, additional complex accounting is required under IFRS 3. Our specialists can guide you through these intricate adjustments. Having supported numerous companies through this process, we are exceptionally well positioned to provide the expertise you need.
Rule 3 advisory
We will act as Rule 3 advisors to companies in an acquisition process where the Takeover Panel requires it. We offer practical and independent advice and assess any offers to ensure that you as the target are getting a fair deal.
De-listings
If you have decided that your company should be taken private again, then the team will help to smooth the process. We work hand in hand with your legal team to ensure any tax implications or solvency issues are dealt with. Our expert Company Secretarial team has a wealth of knowledge and can provide expertise in respect of company filings or restructures under UK law.
Completing a dual listing can be extremely beneficial and provide a secondary platform for international growth. Boosting the corporate profile, access to wider pools of capital and increasing investor confidence are just a few of the benefits a dual listing can bring.
Our team is well versed to support any dual listing on the Main Market via the ‘Equity Shares – Secondary Listing’ segment. This is open to any company that is non-UK incorporated and offers a streamlined approach. Our team provides guidance on the financial information required and leverages existing disclosures from your native exchange to simplify the process.
