Trainline acquisition by KKR, UK
2015
STJ Advisors acted as independent IPO advisor to the board of Trainline and selling shareholder Exponent Private Equity on the sale process which resulted in an acquisition of Trainline by KKR. STJ's advice provided the company and Exponent with a transparent price discovery mechanism that allowed a proper judgement to be made on the relative attractiveness of a direct sale against the IPO alternative. STJ's advice and proprietary process helped generate competitive tension between the public and private equity markets and enabled our client to achieve a successful outcome.
