UK special effects firm mulls initial public offering to raise £150m

BRITISH special effects firm DNEG, winner of five Oscars for work on blockbusters including Blade Runner 2049 and First Man, said Tuesday (15) it planned launching on the London stock market.

DNEG announced in a statement that it was mulling an initial public offering to raise £150 million, plus a sale of stock by existing shareholders.


London-based DNEG, which employs 6,900 people in Britain, Canada, India, and the US, will use any proceeds to grow the business and reduce debt -- but has yet to make a decision to proceed with the flotation.

DNEG chief executive Namit Malhotra said: "We now look to the next chapter in our exciting growth story and the opportunities that a London listing can bring, as we seek to build on the strong momentum we have generated over the past two decades."

  • A production version is planned for 2028.

The British carmaker has unveiled the McL 6GT at Monterey Car Week, a concept inspired by the unfinished M6GT road-car project conceived by company founder Bruce McLaren. If it reaches production as planned in 2028, it will become the first McLaren road car with a manual transmission since the legendary F1, which debuted in 1992.
