DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANT AND ITS ACTIVITIES:

Macaulay Capital plc (“Macaulay Capital” or the “Group”) was formed to originate and manage corporate transactions, raise funds from third parties, invest the Group’s own funds alongside those of external investors and to manage the Group’s investment portfolio with the aim of maximising its value.
The Group will be managed by its two executive directors, David Horner and Richard Bucknell, who have both been operating in the small cap private company market for many years, giving them extensive experience of identifying, originating, assessing, structuring, and financing transactions.
Macaulay Capital intends to earn revenues as follows:
- an arrangement fee on completion of a transaction (typically a percentage of the funds raised, including funds invested by Macaulay Capital), payable by the client company;
- an annual director fee for providing a director to represent Macaulay Capital’s and third-party investors’ interests on the board of the client company;
- an annual management fee of 2 per cent. per annum for up to five years, once third-party investors have been repaid their initial investment, payable by the investors; and
- a performance fee, if returns exceed a predetermined threshold, also payable by the investors.
In addition, the Group will also, on each transaction, participate directly in a mix of loan stock and equity share capital, as part of any fundraising necessary to enable the transaction to proceed. It is intended that these investments will provide the Company with long term gains.
