    £3m oversubscribed fundraise marks key milestone in CAP-XX Limited transformation 🎉 As part of CAP-XX Limited's ongoing transformation under CEO Lars Stegmann, we are delighted to announce the successful completion, pending shareholder approval in December, of a £3 million fundraise, in which both the placing and retail offer were oversubscribed. This achievement represents a crucial step in the company's strategic shift to a product-focused business model, moving away from licensing sales. Our thanks go especially to the Allenby Capital team, whose collaborative efforts helped achieve this outcome despite challenging market conditions. The success of this fundraise reflects positive momentum in CAP-XX Limited’s operational performance, with total revenues up by 26.4% to an anticipated AUS$ 4.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2024. Notably, product revenue has surged by 39.5% over the same period. Early indicators for FY25 are equally strong, with Q1 orders 30% higher than Q1 FY24 and products shipped and invoiced up by 36% year-over-year. This fundraise will further strengthen CAP-XX Limited's growth by enabling entry into new markets and territories, enhancing order execution and reducing delivery times. We look forward to building on this momentum as we expand CAP-XX Limited’s impact across global markets. #Fundraising #Supercapacitors #Growth #VentureCapital

  • Yesterday, we responded to consultation paper CP24/12 from the FCA on the New Public Offers and Admission to Trading Regulations regime.   RetailBook exists to provide investment opportunities to individual investors that have been denied access to IPOs and follow-on placings for far too long. To date we have done this despite a regulatory regime that has discouraged their inclusion.    But a lot of that could be changing. If implemented in full, the proposals in CP24/12 would remove several major barriers to retail inclusion in company issuance, extend the rights of individual investors and shift them from the margins of capital raising to a key consideration for public companies and their advisers. The proposed reforms include:   - increased flexibility in the timing of IPOs, reducing the minimum offer period from 6 days to 3, removing a key risk associated with retail offerings - introducing a requirement for an admission prospectus for primary MTFs such as AIM, increasing information available to retail investors and removing a significant disincentive to their inclusion in AIM IPOs - removing the current €8m cap on retail offerings without a prospectus, allowing better allocations to retail investors - extending withdrawal rights to AIM IPOs, empowering investors where new information comes to light during an IPO   Potentially some fantastic initiatives, but we all have a responsibility to make the most of these reforms. Companies and banks should consider whether sufficient time is being given for individual investors to participate in placings. Whilst individual investors also need to engage with the companies they invest in, whether by setting up email alerts for news updates or participating in general meetings… ultimately, decisions are made by those who show up.   #UKplc #IPOs #Equities #Shares #Investing

  • For private investors to be engaged in public markets it’s only fair that they have access to up-to-date information, fair access to markets requires fair access to market data. Well done to the LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) for announcing the removal of fees for real-time data for retail investors. #Shares #Investment #UKplc #Markets

    Retail investors play a major role in capital markets, contributing to market liquidity and driving market sentiment. The London Stock Exchange has long advocated for the greater inclusion of retail investors in UK capital markets so that they can share in the growth of UK companies. On Monday 30 September we announced that from January 2025 we are removing fees for retail investors to access real-time market data from the London Stock Exchange, becoming the first major primary exchange to do so. This means a full waiver on market data monthly end user charges for all customers that qualify as non-professional users. Retail brokers will be able to provide high-quality, real-time data based on liquid markets to eligible customers free of end user charges. This will drive more informed trading by retail investors based on the latest, most accurate data available, and lead to better outcomes for investors in UK securities. All this means we are bringing additional transparency to UK equity markets and supporting industry objectives to democratise access to capital markets – positive changes that we are driving in partnership with the wider financial markets ecosystem. The removal of these fees for data access has been welcomed by market participants, including some of the biggest retail brokers in the UK: Dan Moczulski, Managing Director, eToro UK, comments: "As a business which already works with the London Stock Exchange to provide our clients with high quality pricing data, we welcome this initiative. We are committed to providing our users with access to more exchanges, all without passing on the market data costs. People should be free to monitor, discover and invest in the stocks that interest them, irrelevant of the exchange it trades on. Initiatives like this will help us continue to offer a more localized trading and investing experience to our users in the UK and around the world." Tom Lee, Head of Trading, Hargreaves Lansdown, said “HL is supportive of this move as a part of the wider push to increase retail participation through lower costs, improved information in prospectuses and greater retail access to equity fund raising.” John Dobson, Head of Investment Solutions, interactive investor, says: “This is an exciting initiative from the London Stock Exchange, and we are fully supportive. Anything that helps level the playing field between institutional and retail investors is not only good for end-investors, but also our industry as a whole. We see this as a great step towards helping to democratise investing, which interactive investor has long been at the forefront of.” Learn more here: https://lseg.group/3NuOlaR #Retail #Trading #Data #CapitalMarkets
