FFW advises on two AIM listings for overseas companies
02 March 2006
FFW is a market leader in the AIM sector and last year acted on
19 AIM flotations. AGI and CFCL are new clients for the
firm. AGI was referred by Beauchamps, FFW’s European Legal
Alliance partner in Ireland.
FFW corporate partner, Alex Woodfield, led the AGI deal,
assisted by Christine Phillips and Marianne Lasserre.
Corporate partner, Anthony Brockbank led the CFCL deal, assisted by
Brad Isaac.
Alex Woodfield said, “The AGI listing demonstrates the
increasingly international nature of the AIM market. The deal is
currently one of the most talked about in Ireland - AGI has big
plans for growth and is expected to generate large revenues
in a few years.”
Anthony Brockbank said, “We are seeing a number of alternative
energy providers listing on AIM as a result of the demand for more
efficient and environmentally sound methods of energy
production. CFCL’s fuel cell technology is more efficient
than conventional power generation technologies and has great
potential.
The listing of an Irish and an Australian company on AIM is
indicative of the market’s attraction for overseas companies.
Both Ireland and Australia are key targets for AIM and are
particularly attractive given the lack of language barriers.”
The AGI IPO is being handled by Davy stockbrokers. Davy’s is
being advised by McCann Fitzgerald. The CFCL IPO is being
handled by Libertas Capital and Ambrian. Both brokers are
being advised by Jones Day.
