Good evening,
 
 

Good evening,

The biggest float of the year failed to generate much spice in its ASX debut this week.

Despite lifting its raising to $500 million from $450 million, KKR-backed Pepper Money closed 10 per cent below its $2.89 offer price to $2.61, and even traded as low as $2.55 on Tuesday.

The soft performance would’ve been closely watched by the remaining IPO candidates trying to push their floats out before the end of the financial year.

There’s still background screening software company Inflection.com, local bookmaker BlueBet and Silk Contract Logistics to come but things are undoubtedly shaky.

Clothing retailer Best & Less pulled its float on Friday last week.

Despite all that, copper miner 29Metals′ brokers fired off pre-deal marketing research to funds on Tuesday, which valued the business at as much as $2.14 billion. Tonight, we look at how the ASX aspirant’s listing ambitions are progressing.

Elsewhere in deals land, Crescent Capital is mulling exit options at one of its investments (we unveil which one) and we dust off a dream tie-up in the Perth Basin.

Happy reading,
Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
