Highlights

• Chapmans Limited is exploring options for a public listing as early as the first half of next calendar year
• The company is focused on investment and financial services with emphasis on special situation investing
• The executive chairman of Chapmans, Peter Dykes, is optimistic about the new doors that the public re-listing will open

Chapmans Limited, a Sydney-based investment and finance firm, is exploring options to re-listing on a public exchange.  The company is focused on investing in opportunities presented by early-stage start-ups as well as mature entities.

Chapmans’ investment team focuses largely on special situations, typically referred to as unusual events, in investment parlance. The company adopts a strategic approach to explore and identify the right opportunity.

It can relate to one of the three categories:

1) direct investment in early stage or established businesses with low entry price but high growth prospects,

2) events like mergers and acquisitions related to a distressed business, or

3) short-term arbitrage trading.

Chapmans Limited is exploring stock exchanges in multiple jurisdictions for listing by the first half of calendar year 2023. These exchanges include the TSX Venture Exchange (Canada), the Canadian Securities Exchange (Canada), the Alternative Investment Market (UK), and the National Stock Exchange of Australia (Australia).

About Chapmans Limited

Chapmans is primarily a special situations-focused investment company. The team identifies unusual events which have a low entry price benefit and then invests into these with a rational and pre-determined exit strategy. Chapmans swears by a “high conviction approach”, which is about acquiring timely, strategic, and substantial equity stake in a smaller set of entities.

The company is led by Peter Dykes. He has been into advising large-scale companies in Australia and other jurisdictions for over two decades. Peter has provided advisory services to a number of ASX-listed entities including BHP and Telstra, and also foreign industry leaders like Ford and General Motors.

Mr Dykes is hopeful that the intended listing of Chapmans Limited on any one or more exchanges cited above would open new opportunities for further growth, with benefits accruing to all stakeholders.
