Leo Holdings LEO HOLDINGS
Listed Equity

Principal capital for negotiated listed‑equity transactions.

Leo Holdings acquires securities for its own account through negotiated primary issuances and secondary block transactions. We focus on transactions where direct capital, reliable execution and a long-term relationship can create value for both sides.

For Listed Companies

We can assess direct equity opportunities where a company values a responsive principal counterparty, negotiated terms and the potential to establish a repeat investment relationship. A first transaction does not need to be the largest possible transaction; it can be a practical way to establish execution history and mutual confidence.

  • Direct principal capital.
  • Confidential and commercially focused engagement.
  • Ability to evaluate smaller initial transactions.
  • Potential for repeat activity as the company grows and requirements change.
  • Clear process from initial discussion to indicative terms.

For Existing Shareholders

We consider block-liquidity situations involving founders, former executives, institutions, private-equity holders, strategic shareholders and funds approaching maturity. The objective is a negotiated transaction that balances price, certainty, confidentiality and market impact.

For Investment Banks & Brokers

We aim to be a credible repeat principal buyer for investment banks, brokers and institutional market participants. We value concise information, realistic transaction parameters and early visibility on timing, restrictions and shareholder objectives.
