Financial Services

Critical guidance on your journey

The broader financial services landscape remains one of shifting dynamics, with opportunities presenting themselves to those who can offer better customer acquisition and retention and/or improved cost control and efficiency. By focusing on innovation or specialist expertise, niche operators are still able to penetrate consumer and SME markets, once almost exclusively the domain of the larger incumbents. Whether you’re looking to acquire, merge or prepare for an exit, our dedicated professionals can help you turn this disruptive environment to your advantage, providing you with M&A, growth equity and ECM, debt advisory and corporate finance services.

GE Capital placed a 57.5% stake in GE Money Bank via IPO on the Prague Stock Exchange

GE Capital has sold 57.5% of GE Money Bank via an institutional-only IPO on the Prague Stock Exchange, in a 100% secondary offering. Demand was led by a mix of international accounts and local names, with almost 65% of demand from the UK and USA investors, 17% generated by CEE-based accounts (notably strong participation of Czech and Polish investors) and another 14% from Western Europe. The offer price was set at CZK 68 (US$2.7) per share. The whole deal was significantly oversubscribed.

“Our goal with our first SPAC transaction was to collect at least half a billion CZK, and we have succeeded. Naturally, we are satisfied with the result, and we believe that the subscribed amount will contribute to the launch of a great new story on the PSE, and satisfy investors’ expectations.”

Member of the board, WOOD SPAC One
