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.
