AnaCap makes £116.9m in Aldermore sell down

AnaCap and Toscafund sold 50.9 million shares at 286p apiece – a premium of more than 50% on the bank's listing price of 192p per share.

Reuters cites Deutsche Bank – the joint bookrunner alongside RBC Capital Markets – as saying AnaCap raised £116.9m from the sale, while Toscafund’s sale was worth £28.6m, leaving the former with a 40% stake in Aldermore.

The partial exit comes six months after Aldermore Group was listed on the London Stock Exchange in an IPO that valued the company at £650m.

AnaCap held a 52.9% stake in the bank following the flotation, while Toscafund was the second-largest shareholder with 9%, according to Thomson Reuters.

Previous funding
In 2009, Morgan Stanley Alternative Investment Partners invested £45m in Aldermore (then Ruffler Bank), alongside AnaCap, according to unquote" data. The investment followed AnaCap's acquisition of London-based Ruffler Bank in May of that year.

In September 2011, Goldman Sachs, Honeywell Capital Management and Ohio Public Employees Retirement System took part in a £62m second round of funding for the bank.

The company then raised £40m from Toscafund and Lansdowne Partners in early 2014 to fuel the company's growth in retail and small-business lending.

Company
Based in Peterborough, Aldermore is an independent bank that offers lending such as asset and invoice finance, as well as commercial and residential mortgages.
