With over 30 private investors and 5 venture capital funds investing in the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) round, Herrington Carmichael prepared and submitted HMRC valuation and clearance applications, replace an existing employee EMI scheme whilst managing an investment round with three separate closes over a 6-month period, including both debt and equity investment.

Having completed 4 previous investment rounds, Arkivum had a complex legal legacy to work with including negotiating and agreeing legal documentation with multiple Venture Capital stakeholders whilst complying with EIS requirements and buying back leaver shareholdings, leading to an overhaul of the then current share capital table.

This transaction was led by our corporate team. The team was happy to work with Wilson Partners who supported Arkivum with specialist tax advice.
