Exclusive: Bankers predicted huge valuation that implied potential nine-figure pay day for former PM
Greensill Capital was considering a £22bn stock market flotation – a figure that dwarfs previous estimates and implied a potential nine-figure windfall for its adviser David Cameron – only weeks before the former prime minister’s intensive government lobbying.
The new figure is revealed in a presentation for the company’s board in late January 2020 by its bankers Credit Suisse, which outlined plans to position “Greensill for a premium valuation”, described the lender as a “once in a generation” company that “any growth investor must own”.
