Registrar Computershare among suitors for former fintech star PrimaryBid
The Australian-listed share registrar Computershare is among a pack of suitors circling PrimaryBid, one of the most prominent British fintech businesses to be established during the last decade. Sky News has learnt that Computershare has expressed an interest in acquiring PrimaryBid, which was put up for sale earlier this year. PrimaryBid, which counts London Stock Exchange Group and the SoftBank Vision Fund among its investors, has drawn interest from a large number of parties, including investment banks and market infrastructure providers, according to insiders. Money: Thousands of customers due a refund - as network apologises The company was founded with a simple vision to help ordinary investors gatecrash the closed City ranks of corporate fundraisings and flotations by aggregating demand from retail shareholders into a single, enlarged order. That mission to democratise access to public markets won support from politicians and market participants. It made significant progress towards this goal during the pandemic, notably securing a slice of a £2bn share sale announced by Compass Group, the FTSE 100 contract caterer. Since then, it has worked on hundreds of deals and helped raise roughly $2bn in equity for listed companies. However, it has been hit by a severe slowdown in equity capital markets activity, prompting it to launch a strategic review and hire US-based market infrastructure specialist Rosenblatt Securities to evaluate its strategic options. PrimaryBid has been facing into the weakest IPO market in years, which it has been attempting to mitigate by striking partnerships with the likes of US fintech group SoFi, as well as European groups. It has now reshaped its UK operations and stepped back from regulated activities, having for several months explored a deal with LSEG, one of its largest shareholders, to license its retail capital-raising technology. For some time, the company was chaired by Sir Donald Brydon, the veteran businessman who also used to chair the stock exchange's parent company. Earlier this year, LSEG wrote down the value of its 7.2% stake in PrimaryBid by 87%, implying that the business now had a valuation of just £56m. Computershare's interest in a deal is said to be exploratory, with many other prospective bidders at a similar stage. A Computershare spokesman said: "We do not comment on market speculation." PrimaryBid declined to comment.

Crystal Clean's 4never™ PFAS Remediation Solution Launches Lean and Nimble SAFF®10 PFAS Treatment Technology
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crystal Clean today announced the launch of the SAFF®10, a compact and versatile addition to its turnkey 4never™ PFAS remediation solution. Designed to meet growing demand for space-efficient, high-performance treatment options, the SAFF®10 delivers powerful remediation capability in a small, sustainable package. 'Every PFAS challenge is unique, and effective remediation requires flexibility.' Manufactured by Australian environmental engineering firm EPOC Enviro, the SAFF®10 joins Crystal Clean's growing portfolio of SAFF® technologies. It is ideally suited for projects with limited site access, intermittent water flow, or lower volume throughput. Surface Active Foam Fractionation (SAFF®) is a patented, nature-inspired technology that uses air bubbles to separate and remove more than 99% of targeted PFAS compounds. This sustainable process enables treated water to be safely discharged or reused, supporting regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship. 'Every PFAS challenge is unique, and effective remediation requires flexibility,' said Brian Recatto, President & CEO of Crystal Clean. 'The SAFF®10 is a compact, go-anywhere system that brings the power of SAFF® technology to smaller or space-limited sites that may not have the needs for a large-scale remediation technology on-site.' With a footprint just under 8 by 16 feet, the SAFF®10 can be installed in compact areas such as maintenance areas or plant rooms, or mounted on a trailer for rapid deployment. It offers the same trusted SAFF® process for effective PFAS removal, providing a proven and effective solution in a smaller, more flexible format. The SAFF®10 can process up to 45 gallons per minute and includes both primary and secondary foam fractionation for superior PFAS capture. It's an ideal technology for remediating target PFAS contaminants in any number of applications including landfill leachates, groundwater, industrial effluent, mobile and fixed extinguishing system decontamination, spill incident event waters, and more. Key features of the SAFF®10: Throughput capacity up to 45 GPM Modular, skid-based system for flexible deployment Integrated dosing for enhanced uptake of short chain PFAS Capable of treating a wide range of water types and PFAS concentrations Mobile, lightweight, and forklift-moveable First developed in 2015, SAFF® technology has now successfully treated nearly 400 million gallons of PFAS-impacted water globally. Crystal Clean currently operates a PFAS treatment facility in Michigan and is expanding SAFF® treatment capabilities across multiple U.S. wastewater treatment locations. Crystal Clean is an exclusive distributor of SAFF technology in the United States.

What is PFAS? PFAS are a family of synthetic compounds widely used globally to make products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease and water. PFAS compounds break down very slowly over time and are recognised as an 'emerging contaminant' with widespread concerns about their characteristics of persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity and impacts on human health.
