Strategy

Creating value through disciplined acquisitions and operational excellence

Using its proven “Buy, Improve, Sell” model, Rosebank has a strong track record of building value over a three‑to‑five‑year ownership period and returning capital to shareholders. This disciplined approach focuses on acquiring high‑quality industrial and manufacturing businesses with strong fundamentals and the potential for improvement, and applying a consistent framework to unlock that value over time.

Rosebank takes an active ownership approach. We invest in our businesses and work closely with management teams to drive operational and financial improvement, strengthen resilience and enhance long‑term performance. By combining hands‑on engagement with clear strategic direction, we support our businesses in delivering sustainable value for shareholders while maintaining a responsible, long‑term perspective for wider stakeholders.

The Buy, Improve, Sell model

A clear focus on acquisitions

While the Directors are focused on acquisitions of companies headquartered in the UK, North America and Europe operating in the industrial or manufacturing sectors with an indicative enterprise value of up to approximately $3 billion, there is no limit as to the number of acquisitions. Rosebank may pursue numerous acquisition opportunities at any one time.

Acquisitions are funded using a combination of the issue of further equity on a pre-emptive basis and prudent bank financing, as well as using Ordinary Shares as an acquisition currency. The pricing of any such issuance of Ordinary Shares will take into account the prevailing market price of the Ordinary Shares, the underlying performance and asset base of the Company and the terms of the relevant transaction and it is possible that new Ordinary Shares may be issued at a price that is lower than the market price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares at that time.

Prior shareholder approval is sought for any acquisitions which constitutes a reverse takeover under the UK Listing Rules.
