Brookfield ramps up Dalrymple Bay float; Village leaves light on for BGH; Splitit bulks up

Good evening,

As fund managers and equities desks watch out for equity raisings this reporting season, one quick out of the gates is payments group Splitit.

Splitit will launch a $100 million raising tomorrow, in a deal that will see it pinch one of tearaway Afterpay's early investors as a cornerstone backer.

Stockbroker Canaccord Genuity was helping stitch up the deal tonight.

Meanwhile, stockbrokers are also hard at work pitching for a role in what is shaping to be the year's biggest IPO contender — Brookfield's coal port at Dalrymple Bay.

Brookfield has sent a request for proposal to a bunch of firms in the past few days, asking them to pitch for a role in the float.

Finally, Village Roadshow is keeping the light on for suitor BGH Capital, and there's a new microcap strategy starting up in one of Melbourne's equities houses.

Happy reading,

Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
