Slaughter and May is advising Pollen Street plc on the introduction of a new holding company

Slaughter and May advised Pollen Street plc on the introduction of a new holding company, Pollen Street Group Limited, by means of a scheme of arrangement, together with Pollen Street Group Limited’s admission to the premium listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. This reorganisation also involved a transfer of listing category, with Pollen Street plc’s categorisation as a premium listed closed-ended investment fund being replaced by Pollen Street Group Limited’s categorisation as a premium listed commercial company.

The revised listing and corporate structure better reflects the day-to-day operations of the group and facilitates a broader range of investment opportunities.
