Aldermore today announced the pricing of its IPO of 117,934,783 Ordinary Shares at 192 pence per Ordinary Share – near the top of the 175-195 pence range. Aldermore’s market capitalisation at the offer price is approximately £650m.

Aldermore has grown strongly since it was founded by AnaCap in 2009. AnaCap led a strategy that transformed the business from a niche UK bank into a technically sophisticated, multi-product institution that is considered one of the country’s leading “challenger banks”, providing loans to SMEs and retail customers. Last month Aldermore announced it had almost doubled pretax profits to £50.3m in 2014 from £25.7m the previous year. Net lending to customers grew 42% to £4.8bn pounds.

The IPO represents a partial exit for AnaCap, which has agreed to lock-up arrangements in respect of their remaining holdings of shares for specified periods of time following admission.

Fabrizio Cesario, Partner of AnaCap, commented:
“Aldermore has delivered exceptional growth in recent years, providing much-needed lending to SMEs and homeowners at a time when traditional sources of credit have been more constrained. We are delighted to continue our close relationship with the company during this exciting next phase in its development.”
