MinterEllison outlined that its role included advising on the IPO, secondary capital raising, capital raisings, ASX listing, rights issues and entitlement offers, corporate transactions and funds formation.

Commenting on the deal, MinterEllison’s Mr Scotti said “the interrelated nature of the offerings posed novel legal and practical issues”.

“We thoroughly enjoyed working with VGI Partners, as well as our co-advisers, Moelis, Commonwealth Securities, Crestone, Wilsons, Ord Minnett and Deloitte,” he continued.
