Bain Capital said on Monday it is looking to relist airline Virgin Australia, in a move that would come as the domestic aviation market bounces back strongly from pandemic lows.
“It is Bain Capital’s current intention to retain a significant shareholding in a future IPO of Virgin Australia.” Boutique firm Reunion Capital has been appointed as a financial adviser on the deal, the people said, and will oversee the appointment of investment banks to lead the IPO.The size of the stake that Bain Capital should retain is one of the questions banks pitching for a role on the IPO will be asked to address in terms of forecasting how large demand for the deal could be, one of the people said.
Efforts to turn the airline around were often stymied by a board that included representatives from five foreign investors including airlines who controlled more than 90% of the company and were reluctant to inject new capital at the start of the pandemic as their own businesses suffered.
