easyProperty postpones IPO plans
According to a recent report, the Chief Executive of Online estate agent easyProperty and the largest shareholder says, the company is not looking to list on the stock market for at least the next two years or more.
Rob Elliice, Co-Founder and CEO reportedly told Reuters, “With Tosca on board, and they’re very keen to back us in a large way, there is really no need to rush to market,”
easyProperty which was also co-founded by Stelios Hajj-Ioannou of easyJet fame last week raised £25m in its latest funding round that valued the company at more than £100m, Toscafund putting in £14m became the group’s second-largest shareholder.
Ellice reportedly said the level of interest in the company was huge, and that the placing could have been 10 times oversubscribed had easyProperty accepted £25m being offered by a large US-based investor.
Ellice went on to say he expects easyProperty to be worth more than £1bn in the next two or three years as the company expands overseas. “We’re not up for sale at the moment , we are acquisitive and aggressive at the moment,” he said.
