Equity

Imprima recently produced a 168 page document for the IPO for 3i infrastructure, a world leader in private equity and venture capital. Citigroup were lead advisors and Slaughter and May were the lawyers involved. Distribution was completely managed by Imprima and we delivered 9,300 copies across the UK, Europe, the US and the Middle East. This deal was managed under a very tight timeline with compressed production schedules, split printing and advance copies and deliveries.

Imprima recently produced the Offering Circular for a capital increase of Austrian Airlines Österreichische Luftverkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft.

Our project management team worked very closely across our Frankfurt & London sites with the working group, including Shearman & Sterling, Merrill Lynch International and Bank Austria Creditanstalt. Our onsite typesetters and local teams kept very closely to the requirements of the working group ensuring a quick and accurate turnaround of all alterations. Following the in house drafting sessions, sign off and commencement of printing, we still received further changes to the document. Our flexibility enabled us to call back couriers, hold the printing press, remake printing plates and print and rebind the prospectuses. 2nd sign off was at 10.30 pm and we still managed to deliver advanced copies to Vienna for 8am the next day.
