Why Does the Redeemable Convertible Notes (RCN) Programme Work?
Inherent Gap in Equity Capital Raising for Listed Companies
- Stock Markets are not efficient for smaller or illiquid listed companies
- Banks cannot place out these stocks, or may be too small (or too large)
- Liquidity and volatility in the market if not placed out in orderly manner
RCNs Value Proposition to Smaller Listed Companies
- Ability to do placements in a time-managed manner
- Ability to increase free float of shares, increasing liquidity
- Listed companies can plan their businesses according to the expected rate of placements
AOFI Value Creation for Investors
- Inherent Investment Bank capabilities + Trading Strategies (VWAP, Algo)
- Velocity of Shares Traded creates multiplier effect on returns
- Reducing Value at Risk per exposure at all times (eg toxic CBs)
KEY COMPONENTS OF RCN PROGRAMME
It begins when a listed company needs new capital for growth.
