- PROSPECTUS.
This Company has been formed by the amalgamation of
the following London Firms, for the purpose of carrying
on and extending their business as Merchants under the
Joint-Stock Companies Act, with limited liability.
Messrs. Robinson and Fleming.
Messrs. Redfern, Alexander, and Co.
Messrs. Lane, Hankey, and Co.
Experience has shown that undertakings established
upon the principle of limited liability can successfully
carry out the most confidential operations of banking and
finance, and the Directors feel assured that mercantile
transactions will now be even more freely entrusted to a
Company so formed than tb private firms. It is believed
that the periodical publication of a balance-sheet, with the
security afforded by a large uncalled capital, will, when
combined with the personal management of a board of ex-
perienced merchants, attract business of the best class,
under permanently favourable conditions.
The basis of the arrangement with the amalgamated
firms is as follows :-
1. All the liabilities and obligations of each house are
to be liquidated altogether independently of the Company,
except where any such may hereafter be agreed to betaken
over by the Board as new and desirable business.
2. The partners of each house bind themselves not to
enter into any fresh mercantile operations in England of a
similar character during tea years; and the completeness
of the transfer, with the efficient management of each par-
ticular class of business, is insured by the leading mem-
bers of the three firms joining the Board and remaining as
Directors. The qualification of each Director is fixed by
the Articles of Association at £lO,OOO, to be held in the
Stock of the Company.
3. The total goodwill of the amalgamated firms will be
taken, one-third in Shares with £5O paid, and two-thirds
in Debentures, payable with 5 per cent. interest, in equal
annual instalments over ten years, thus identifying the
interests of the vendors completely and continuously with
that of the Company.
The total amount thus paid to the three firms for good.
will in Shares and Debentures will be £375,000, which
sum is calculated upon their actual profits for three years ;
without eftimating any increase from new business, or
savings which will be effected by the amalgamation, and
assuming only the present profits of the united firms, a
large dividend may, therefore, be anticipated on the paid-
up capital, from the establishment of the company.
The amalgamated firms and their immediate connexions
are prepared to subscribe for a large portion of the pro-
posed capital ; but as it is believed that the influence and
prosperity of the Company will be increased by establish-
ing it on a wide and a public basis, and that many inves-
tors will gladly seize the opportunity of thus becoming
merchants without the unlimited risks of partnership, the
directors have decided to open the subscription to the
public.
To meet the wishes of those who may desire to pay up
at once the amount that is intended to be called on the
shares, it has been decided to allow such prepayments to
the extent of £5O per share, and such shares will then rank
for dividend in proportion to the amount paid up. A
separate form of application for such shares is enclosed.
-There will be no promotion-money paid for the forma-
tion of the Company.
Applications for shares, accompanied by a remittance for
the deposit, may be made to the Bankers and Brokers.
The Articles of the Association are open for inspection at
he Office of the Solicitors.
