Opportunity

A Japanese corporate headquartered in Tokyo sought to increase its investment in an ASX-listed consumer finance business with operations across Australia and New Zealand.

Our client aimed to increase its existing ~5 per cent stake to the maximum allowable level under the Corporations Act before triggering a takeover offer. Increasing their stake would deepen their strategic relationship with the target and support the expansion of their operations in these core markets.

Macquarie Capital was appointed financial adviser given its experience in complex stakebuilding transactions and ability to coordinate seamlessly across borders.

Approach

Macquarie Capital advised the company on a strategy that enabled it to successfully acquire its desired equity within the client’s parameters and on an accelerated timetable.

Confidentiality was also maintained throughout the transaction.

This successful result was made possible by leveraging Macquarie Capital’s full-service capabilities across Advisory and Equities, as well as through close collaboration between its Australian and Japanese teams.

Outcome

The Japanese corporate successfully increased its equity stake to ~19.9 per cent, strengthening the strategic alignment between the two organisations and giving it a key voice in the strategic direction of the target.

The transaction demonstrates Macquarie Capital’s position as a trusted adviser on cross‑border strategic transactions.
