No, if OTT wanted to list they would do it conveniently, or existing holders of icon would take a 9999.99% dilution with money raised used to purchase OTT in cash and equity, and the remaining cash for future funding of the new company (which will be the same directors and staff as before listing)
They put near enough a million quid in, its just an investment for them, they could have listed conventionally for that with 100% instead of 18%.
An OTT subsidiary or OTT held equity investment yes, possible, maybe even likely for an RTO if they are not DS / EGO linked.
But the Whole company - no, you create subsidiaries to reduce risk to your parent company, and float subsidiaries on the market to give you a pay day, you never float your whole holdings company, multiple little floats raise more capital and can be liquidated with no risk.
Normally Only list the holdings parent company if it’s up Schmitz creek or you want an exit from the business completely for a huge payday.
