Public to private

An increasingly common transaction occurs where a management team links up with outside private equity funders to offer to buy a company whose shares are publicly traded and take it private.

Our team is experienced in advising all sides on a "take private"; the company, the management team and the private equity house.

Public to private transactions carry with them a level of technical complexity over and above that normally associated with private equity investments and as such it is important to ensure that your advisers have the necessary experience in the area.

Recent "take private" transactions include the £41 million MBO of the AIM listed company Planit Holdings Plc and the £41.3 million "take private" of the AIM listed company Comland Commercial Plc.
