Eversheds comment: Surge in IPOs remains to be seen

  • United Kingdom

    24-01-2014

    On predictions that the increase in European IPOs is set to accelerate, Richard Moulton, head of private equity at global law firm Eversheds, comments:

    “The Equity Capital markets are open again, with some high profile businesses coming to market. However, actual volumes of IPOs are not yet ‘surging’ and many in possible floats in the pipeline will consider an IPO, but ultimately will be acquired by a Private Equity bidder or strategic trade buyer. The good news is that with the opening of the public markets, PE Sponsors and Corporates have another viable exit route, which promises to make 2014 a very active year for exits for all.”

    Richard Moulton, Product Group Head
