International Public Partnership Ltd Proposed Issue of
Equity
14 November 2014
Issue of Equity
Further to the announcement of 5 November 2014, the Board of
Directors (the "Board") of International Public Partnerships
Limited (the "Company" and/or "INPP") is pleased to announce the
placing has closed, raising GBP95 million before costs and expenses
through the issue of 70.37 million ordinary shares of 0.01p in the
capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares") by way of tap
issuance (the "Issue").
The placing was significantly oversubscribed with demand for
approximately GBP125 million from existing and new investors. The
Board has decided in light of the strong pipeline of investments
and intention of using the proceeds to reduce the Company's current
debt facility that it is in Shareholders' interests to increase the
size of the Issue beyond the GBP70 million targeted.
The New Ordinary Shares will be issued at 135 pence per share,
which represents a discount of 2.95% to the price at the time of
the fund raising announcement on 5 November 2014.
Rupert Dorey, a Non-Executive Director, and connected persons
have subscribed for an aggregate of 50,000 shares.
Commenting on the Issue, Chairman of INPP Rupert Dorey said: "We
are delighted to announce that the Company has raised GBP95 million
through a placement today, with the Issue being oversubscribed. The
successful capital raise follows a period of significant investment
activity for INPP, including the recently closed Lincs offshore
transmission project, the Company's single largest investment to
date. There was strong demand from existing and new investors for
the Issue, demonstrating continuing support for INPP and confidence
in the return profile of its diversified portfolio and
infrastructure as an asset class."
Application for listing and admission to trading
Application will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority for
admission of the New Ordinary Shares to the premium segment of the
Official List of the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange plc for
admission to trading of the New Ordinary Shares on its main market
for listed securities (together, "Admission"). It is expected that
Admission will become effective on or around 19 November 2014 and
that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares on the London Stock
Exchange's main market for listed securities will commence at that
time.
