Convex Capital Update
 
RBG Holdings plc (AIM: RBGP), the professional services group, is pleased to announce a further update on the progress at Convex Capital Limited ("Convex Capital"), the Group's specialist sell-side corporate finance boutique.
 
Convex Capital has continued to convert its strong pipeline into completed transactions. Further to the update on 8 February 2021, Convex Capital has concluded another deal, earning a fee of £1.5 million. This brings the total number of completed transactions to four since 1 January 2021, resulting in a total fee income year to date of £2.6 million.
 
This represents a notable improvement in successful conversion, having completed only two deals, which generated total revenue of £1.5 million in 2020 because of the disruption caused by the pandemic. After working to pivot its sector focus, which resulted in a successful rebuild of its transaction pipeline over the last six months, Convex Capital is currently working on a further eight transactions which have the potential to complete in the short to medium term. The deal pipeline continues to be strong with a number of other deals across various sectors at earlier stages.
 
Nicola Foulston, CEO, RBG Holdings plc, said: "After a difficult year, the team at Convex Capital, led by CEO Mike Driver, worked hard to develop a new, stronger pipeline of M&A transactions. We can see the fruits of those efforts with four deals already completed this year and more to come. We expect to see an increase in M&A activity this year because of the market conditions, and Convex Capital is well placed to capitalise."

RBL provides a range of legal services to its diversified client base, which includes companies, banks, entrepreneurs, and individuals. Complementing this is the Firm's increasingly international footprint, advising on complex cross-jurisdictional matters.

Convex Capital is entirely focussed on helping companies, particularly owner-managed and entrepreneurial businesses, realise their value through sales to large corporates. Convex Capital identifies and proactively targets firms that it believes represent attractive acquisition opportunities.
