Ogier has acted for VSA Capital Limited in its role as financial adviser to Digital Train and its parent, NetDragon Websoft, in connection a GBP84.1 million recommended cash offer for Promethean World, a company listed on London Stock Exchange. 

Promethean World is in the global education technology market with significant sales in North America and Western Europe of front-of-class interactive display.

Angus Davison (pictured) says: “The involvement of Cayman and BVI companies in public M&A transactions is becoming more widespread. This is an excellent example of the ability of our cross-border corporate practice to advise not just bidders and issuers, but other participants, on public M&A deals.”
