COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR,
IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING
POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE
TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED:
The Company was incorporated on 31 July 2020 in accordance
with the laws of the British Virgin Islands with an indefinite
life and is domiciled in the United Kingdom (i.e. the Company
is tax resident in the United Kingdom by virtue of being centrally
managed and controlled in the United Kingdom). The Company
was admitted to trading on the standard listing segment of
the Official List of the London Stock Exchange on 4 December
2020.
The Group's strategy is centred around backing sectors characterised
by long term digitisation trends, that are in early stages
of adoption and set to transform the workplace for professionals
for the next few decades. Embracing a long-term perspective,
the aim is to build a lasting and thriving business. This thinking
shapes how investment is deployed on both M&A and within the
platform businesses, in order to develop relationships with
clients and partners and with a strategy centred around business
and digital transformation and continuous improvement.
This strategy revolves around evaluating high-quality businesses
in the pipeline, based on a set of key characteristics. These
characteristics align with the management team's vision and
will enable businesses to consistently generate long-term value.
The Company seeks businesses with:
-- high recurring revenue streams and good forward visibility;
-- sticky customer retention;
-- mission critical products and services;
-- sectors with high barriers to entry;
-- opportunities for both organic and inorganic growth;
-- strong cash generation; and
-- highly fragmented industries with opportunities for consolidation.
On 8 June 2023, the Company announced the conditional agreement
to acquire 5 companies from Capita plc for a combined enterprise
value of approximately GBP33 million in cash. In addition to
organic growth, the Board believes that the acquisitions will
create a platform to develop the Company by exploring growth
opportunities in synergistic sectors and by targeted investment
and M&A activities. On 31 July 2023, the acquisitions had completed.
On 21 November 2023, ADV Holding Group Limited, a subsidiary
of the Company, entered into an agreement for the sale of one
of the five companies acquired, Synaptic Software Ltd, to Fintel
IQ Limited in order to enable the business to have a more strategically
aligned owner. The disposal is conditional upon, inter alia,
the approval of the change of ownership by the FCA.
Subsequent to the disposal, the four companies operate across
two fundamental business transformational areas: business solutions
and human capital management. Through these core specialisms,
the Group delivers innovative software solutions and a platform
that enables businesses and organisations to succeed in today's
dynamic landscape whilst providing an enabler for digital transformation.
