Five V Exits Automic Group

Five V Capital is pleased to announce it has signed a definitive agreement to sell Automic Group to global private equity firm Advent International.  

Automic is a market leading technology company delivering financial market infrastructure to serve the mission-critical needs of investors and issuers in Australia and New Zealand.  

Since Five V Capital invested in Automic in September 2021, the business has continued to disrupt the industry with its registry, employee share plan, shareholder analytics, and fund administration services with a leading, proprietary cloud-native platform.  Over the past five years, Automic has been the top performing share registry for IPOs and listed transitions and today it is supporting over 1,400 companies and funds.

The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2025 subject to customary regulatory approvals.  

Congratulations to the Automic management team and thank you to all parties supporting Automic Group with the transaction: Zac Fletcher and Adrian Lee at Goldman Sachs, Rachael Bassil at Gilbert + Tobin, Tristan Bowie and Bernard Quain at EY, Sam Farley and John Burns at BCG, Shervin Farivar at Crosslake, and James McMurdo at Privatus Capital Partners.
