Canadian online gaming company Intertain is working with Finsbury for PR support as it revamps management and undergoes a strategic review.
The Toronto-based company is considering a London Stock Exchange listing and talking to potential suitors, reports the Financial Times.
Intertain, which went public on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2014, acquired UK online bingo operator Jackpotjoy in 2015. The company also tapped UK-based Neil Goulden and Andrew McIver as its new board chair and CEO, respectively.
Revenue for 2015 was $384.5M Canadian.
A special committee is looking at its options. "[T]he Strategic Review and the feedback received from shareholders, the market and other stakeholders have highlighted the potential of a greater exposure to European capital markets to help achieve a fuller and more appropriate valuation of Intertain's businesses if Intertain continues to operate on a standalone basis," said committee member David Danziger.
A shareholders meeting and likely vote on any recommendations is slated for September.
James Leviton, a Teneo alum turned Finsbury partner, is advising Intertain from the UK.
