Pan Finance Announces the Q3 Award Winners of 2024

Published

on

LONDON, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The global financial services landscape has been marked by significant volatility over the last quarter, driven by a combination of geopolitical tensions, fluctuating inflation rates, and mounting environmental challenges. While the U.S. and the U.K. have seen slight declines in inflation, the Euro Area is still wrestling with a gradual rise, further complicating economic recovery efforts. Across the globe, the interplay of unstable trade and diplomatic relations, as well as the impact of extreme weather events have added layers of uncertainty, making capital allocation and investment decisions increasingly complex.

In this context of economic instability, Pan Finance Magazine’s latest edition delves into a pressing and timely issue on the global stage: the role of immigrants in driving global trade and value creation. The Q3  cover story explores whether immigrants, often overlooked in economic narratives, are the unsung heroes behind much of the world’s economic growth. Amongst many thought provoking pages, Pan Finance also takes an indepth look at key issues including the recent carry crash and the flashback it provokes, the impact of the crowdstrike outage on global markets and the ever-growing impact of AI on the financial services industry.

Furthermore, Pan Finance continues to shine a spotlight on a variety of topics by highlighting leading examples of best practice across the financial services sector and beyond. Established to be a true measure of excellence, the Pan Finance awards look beyond the realm of the balance sheet alone, measuring success through innovation, stewardship of the environment and positive impact on society.

Chris Hilliard, CEO, Winnow Solutions stated, “We are incredibly honoured to be recognized as the Banking Compliance Solutions Provider of the Year by Pan Finance. This award is a testament to Winnow’s commitment to providing innovative and reliable solutions that help our clients navigate the complex landscape of regulatory compliance. As this is our first time receiving this recognition, it marks a significant milestone in our journey, and we look forward to continuing to empower organisations with cutting-edge compliance tools in 2024 and beyond.”

“Paxon is pleased to receive the Financial Advisor of the Year Award for Asia Pacific.  This award recognizes our financial advisory role on over US$130 billion of social and economic infrastructure projects over the last 20 years. Paxon is a market leader in structuring and financing PPPs to deliver complex infrastructure. For Government clients, we optimise risk and project value to achieve long term community outcomes.

Eqvista Launches Company-Sponsored Tender Offers, Expanding Private Market Liquidity Capabilities

Published

on

By

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
