MAC Alpha Limited
(the "Company")
First day of dealings
MAC Alpha Limited is pleased to announce that 700,000 Ordinary Shares will at 8.00 a.m. today be admitted to the Standard Segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities ("Admission"). The Ordinary Shares will trade under the ticker MACA (ISIN: VGG5869Z1045).
The directors of the Company believe that the current economic environment will present attractive opportunities to invest in, improve and grow companies in partnership with an industry leading executive or management team. The directors of the Company have developed a listed acquisition company model that will enable trusted and successful management partners to identify value enhancing opportunities before raising additional capital.
A broad range of sectors will be considered. Those sectors which the directors currently believe will provide the greatest opportunity, and on which the Company will initially focus, include Automotive & Transport, Business-to-Business Services, Clean Technology, Consumer & Luxury Goods, Financial Services, Banking & FinTech, Insurance, Reinsurance & InsurTech, & Other Vertical Marketplaces, Healthcare & Diagnostics and Media & Technology.
The directors believe that the structure of the Company represents a significant improvement on conventional listed acquisition vehicles both for investors and vendors, allowing for greater speed and flexibility in financing and execution alongside lower operating and transactional costs.
The total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company in issue immediately following Admission is 700,000, each with equal voting rights. The total voting rights figure can be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority. Immediately following Admission, funds managed by Marwyn Investment Management LLP will hold 90 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Shares of the Company. A PDMR Notification is set out at the bottom of this announcement.
