Notes to Editors:

 

Rockpool Acquisitions Plc, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company based in Northern Ireland, whose shares have been admitted to the Official List of the London Stock Exchange by way of a Standard Listing, was formed to undertake the acquisition of a company or business headquartered, or materially based in Northern Ireland with the valuation of up to £20 million. Once the first acquisition is completed, the Company may consider further complementary acquisitions.

 

Rockpool will focus on targeting an acquisition with the potential to grow to a substantial market capitalisation or, in due course, to be attractive to an industry or financial buyer. The objective of the Company following completion of an acquisition will be to inject additional capital to facilitate the expansion of that business.

 

The Directors are of Northern Irish origin and have over 60 years' combined experience of the local market. Between them they have considerable industry, acquisitions, legal, public markets and financial and operational experience, with good access to potential targets. The Directors believe that Rockpool's ability to provide access to significant amounts of additional capital will be the key element in being able to attract a suitable target for acquisition. It is likely that the acquisition, which Rockpool aims to make within twelve months of Admission, will be treated as a Reverse Takeover requiring the publication of a prospectus and an application to be re-admitted to the Official List of the London Stock Exchange.

 

Access to capital is a real issue for many fast-growing Northern Ireland businesses. The Directors believe that there will be a number of businesses attracted to the prospect of raising capital through a listed cash-shell vehicle and will actively approach Rockpool seeking a reverse takeover.
