Glencore-backed Cobalt Holdings scraps planned London listing

Glencore-backed Cobalt Holdings scraps planned London listing
SHARE

Cobalt Holdings, a metal investment company, has made the decision to cancel its planned listing on the London Stock Exchange. This move comes just weeks after the company announced a proposed $230 million share offering, with backing from prominent investors such as Glencore.

The decision to scrap the IPO was not accompanied by specific reasons from Cobalt Holdings. However, a source close to the company indicated that the decision was made in the best interest of funding the business privately. Cobalt Holdings, led by CEO Jake Greenberg, had previously outlined plans to list this month, with Glencore and Anchorage as cornerstone investors, collectively holding a 20.5% stake in the company.

The cancellation of the listing deal is a setback for the London IPO market, which has faced challenges in competing with other markets in recent years. Cobalt Holdings had intended to raise $230 million through a flotation model similar to that of Yellow Cake, a London-listed investment company that focuses on purchasing and holding uranium for nuclear reactor fuel.

Greenberg’s pitch to potential investors centered around the increasing demand for cobalt in electric car batteries, driven by the global shift towards clean energy. The company had secured a six-year supply contract with Glencore, valued at up to $1 billion, with an initial purchase of 6,000 tonnes of cobalt at a discounted rate.

Despite the cancelled IPO, the supply agreement with Glencore is expected to proceed if Cobalt Holdings is able to secure the necessary funds through other means. The prices of cobalt have experienced a significant decline over the past year, leading the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo to temporarily ban its export in an effort to boost prices.

As the clean energy transition continues to gain momentum, the demand for cobalt is expected to rise, making it a valuable commodity for the future. The decision to cancel the IPO reflects Cobalt Holdings’ strategic shift towards private funding to support its business operations.

In conclusion, the cancellation of the London listing marks a turning point for Cobalt Holdings as it navigates the challenges of the evolving market landscape. The company remains optimistic about its future prospects and is focused on securing alternative sources of funding to drive its growth and success in the competitive metal investment sector.
