Founded by Noam Gottesman of TOMS Capital alongside Sir Jeremy Isaacs and Roger Nagioff of JRJ Group, Mayflower Acquisition Limited has been established to identify and acquire a high-quality private business, providing its owners with a flexible and efficient route to the public markets. The company is listed under the ticker MAY.
The IPO represents one of the largest acquisition vehicles listings in London in recent years, raising approximately $500 million (£375 million) of permanent capital with no redemption right for the acquisition of a target company or business.
Oak provided specialist support to the Mayflower team throughout the IPO process, drawing on its deep expertise in fund administration, governance and regulatory services for complex, international fund structures.
James Christie, Director, Funds & Corporate, commented:
“We are delighted to have supported Mayflower Acquisition Limited on its successful IPO. This transaction highlights the continued relevance of well-structured listed acquisition vehicles as a credible route to market, particularly for high-quality private businesses seeking certainty and speed in an uncertain environment. Mayflower’s experienced sponsor team and strong investor alignment set it apart, and we are proud to have played a role in bringing this landmark listing to market.”
The successful listing underscores Oak’s growing track record in supporting high-profile fund launches and capital markets transactions globally and reinforces Guernsey’s position as a leading jurisdiction for innovative investment structures.
