Environmental Industries - 2 March 2007


The Environmental Industries Capital Markets Day provides an opportunity for listed and pre-IPO environmental industries companies to communicate their investment story to an invited audience of analysts, institutional investors and media.


London – the heart of Environmental Industries financing


Global environmental industries, encompassing activities such as renewable and alternative energy development, waste and water management and pollution and emissions control, are forecast to be worth £360billion* by 2010. London is establishing itself as the leading global capital market for this rapidly expanding industry. The London Stock Exchange sits at the heart of this market place.

Improved understanding = effective investment


Against a background of rapid technological and regulatory change, and concerns over climate change, the environment and energy security, new companies are coming to market with exciting new environmental solutions. Investor interest in the sector has never been higher, but information to help evaluate the investment proposition is scarce.


This day is aimed to help solve that problem.


The Environmental Industries Capital Markets Day is a unique opportunity for investors and issuers to meet each other in one place, at one time


Open and private dialogue


Each company has the opportunity to present its investment story to an institutional audience at the London Stock Exchange and also has a private room in which to meet individual investors on a one-to-one basis.


The London Stock Exchange, working with Carbon International, identifies, pre-qualifies and invites appropriate institutional investors to ensure their relevance and interest.


We manage all scheduling, logistics, marketing and arrange one-to-one investor meetings in advance of the event.


Companies are also able to use their private room to hold additional one-to-one investor meetings organised by their broker or investor relations team


An Invaluable opportunity


The London Stock Exchange provides a unique, neutral location at the heart of London’s Capital Markets at which companies and investors can meet.


Viewing the maximum number of investment propositions in a minimal amount of time in a single location makes a Capital Markets Day an invaluable event for an investor to attend. There are no lengthy speeches, but brief financial presentations and the opportunity for investors to have as many private one-to-one meetings as they wish.

 

A successful track record


Environmentally themed Capital Markets Days run by the London Stock Exchange and Carbon International have set the benchmark for first-class investor relations events for environmental industries companies.


This will be the sixth environmentally themed investor relations event at the London Stock Exchange, following the ‘London Edge: New Energy’ Seminar in October 2006, and the ‘New Energy’ and ‘Water & Waste’ Capital Markets Days in 2005 and 2006.


Past environmentally themed Capital Markets Days have been attended by over ninety individuals from institutions such as Merrill Lynch, Threadneedle Asset Management, Sarasin Asset Management, Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse.


Past presenting companies have enjoyed as many as six one-to-one investor meetings and given overwhelmingly positive feedback.


"We found this day very interesting and most efficient in improving our communication and delivery of our message to investors, especially for us as a foreign company in London”
