Equity Capital Markets

3C has successfully transacted numerous deals comprising equity and equity-linked capital raisings, both public and private, as well as corporate derivatives and block trades.

Pre-IPOs & Private Placements

3C believes it is the pre-eminent player in the London market for pre-IPO offerings for high growth companies planning to float on the London Stock Market. As well as structuring and placing several fully documented deals over the last 18 months including the UK/India branded beer company, Cobra Beer (£30 million), and the leading independent UK distributor of retail financial products, Money Portal (£25 million), we have made numerous investments through our pre-IPO fund AM2 since it was formed in January 2006 (see Asset Management).

IPOs & Secondary Offerings

Since the flotation of RBC Information Systems in mid 2002, 3C’s first transaction, we have been an active player in the IPO market comprising deals on both AiM and the Main Board market in London and the RTS/Micex in Russia. Transactions include straight IPOs, flotations via reverse take-overs of cash shell entities as well as flotations following pre-IPO placements on which we have advised and lead managed.
