[ INGENIOUS CORPORATE FINANCE]

Capital Markets

Thanks to our years of specialist experience, we have an instinctive grasp of the ebb and flow of institutional appetite for media and communications investment.

For each offering, we work very closely with our clients to determine exactly who to talk to, what to say and when to say it. We pride ourselves on giving a first class service and, because our experience is so wide-ranging, we have become among the most flexible and innovative in the marketplace.

We led the first flotations in the independent TV production sector and we have played an important role in its ongoing consolidation. We are now particularly well-known for helping companies in new or emerging areas that are not yet well represented on the public stock markets.

Our advice covers:

• Timing
• Appointment of IPO syndicate and other advisers
• Equity story, marketing materials and prospectus
• Valuation

In addition, we are also expert in taking companies private where a public listing has ceased to benefit them.

We use our specialist knowledge of the media sector and strong contacts in the private equity community to support management teams in securing backing for going private. We then act for both management and their backers to execute innovatively structured transactions, such as in the recent Shed transaction.
