COMPANY BUSINESS: Rosebank is a newly incorporated company established to acquire companies and businesses whose performance the Directors believe can be improved so as to create shareholder value.
The Rosebank Co-Founders are previous leading members of the senior management team of Melrose Industries PLC, a company which is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Rosebank's objective is to recreate the same successful 'Buy, Improve, Sell' business model which the Rosebank Co-Founders successfully implemented during their time at Melrose. Rosebank proposes to acquire quality industrial or manufacturing businesses whose performance may be improved.
INVESTING POLICY
Upon Admission, the Company will be an 'investing company' for the purposes of the AIM Rules. Following completion of its initial acquisition, the Company will cease to be an 'investing company' and as such its Investing Policy will cease to apply.
Pending completion of the initial acquisition, the Directors intend to use the initial seed capital, after expenses of the Placing, to fund transactional due diligence costs and minor corporate expenses to enable the Company to seek acquisition opportunities and pursue its strategy and, pending such use, intend to invest the net proceeds of the Placing in government securities and gilts, money market funds and/or cash on deposit with less than 40% of the total net proceeds held in investment securities such as corporate bonds.
In accordance with the AIM Rules, if the Company fails to make an acquisition or has not substantially implemented its Investing Policy within 18 months of Admission, the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval for its Investing Policy at its next annual general meeting and on an annual basis thereafter until such time as there has been an acquisition or the Investing Policy has been substantially implemented. The Directors will, at any subsequent annual general meeting, ask Shareholders to consider whether to continue exploring acquisition opportunities or to wind up the Company and return funds (after payment of the expenses and liabilities of the Company) to Shareholders.
