Selkirk Group plc (the "Company") is a newly incorporated company established with the primary objective of acquiring a company or business which the Directors believe is undervalued and providing them with their own listing on the AIM market to create shareholder value or acquiring an existing public company and providing a highly incentivised management team with strategic direction. The Company is focused on acquiring business which are headquartered in the UK.
The Company is primarily focused on the small and mid-cap market, specifically within the Consumer, Technology and digital media related sectors. The Directors believe this underappreciated segment offers ample opportunity to identify suitable businesses, whether they are privately held companies, subsidiaries of larger listed companies or existing public companies.
The Directors intend that the initial funds raised pursuant to the placing, conducted in connection with admission, will be used for the purposes of funding operational expenses, undertaking due diligence on potential target acquisitions and funding costs associated with such transactions. It is envisaged that the Company's first investment will be in a company with an enterprise value anticipated as a guideline to be not less than £30 million and not more than £1 billion. An acquisition of this scale is likely to constitute a Reverse Takeover under the AIM Rules for Companies.
Upon admission, the Company will be an "investing company" for the purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies.
