The practice of the UK market has been for keystone investors to participate in an IPO at the same price as other investors, but this is not a prerequisite. The approach is motivated by the fear that offering a discount will be a drag on the IPO price, as other investors would be reluctant to accept a higher valuation. If a discount were offered, the core investor would accept a longer blocking of his shares to avoid being able to maintain the share price immediately after admission. The guarantees granted to the investor in the keystone investment agreement are generally very limited, since the investment decision is made on the basis of the information contained in the prospectus. This reflects the approach taken in the Hong Kong market, but the obligation to treat each IPO investor in the same way does not apply in the UK and the investor could therefore, in theory, strive for broader protection. With regard to the four key investments mentioned above in 2019, it was only the only strategic investor, Mastercard, who participated in Network International IPO as the keystone, subject to a blocking of its shares, while institutional investors who participated in IpOs Trainline, Traton and Marel as keystone could be traded without the listing of the shares on the market. Network International IPO`s difference in approach may well be a product of the strategic nature of Mastercard`s investment. The tendency not to close barriers for institutional investors is a reflection of an ongoing market practice in Europe, where investors seem increasingly reluctant not to trade their securities in the post-IPO market. The market environment in the second half of 2019 seemed to support this thesis, with four of Europe`s largest IPOs in 2019, including two of the largest UK IPOs (Trainline and Network International), having been backed by cornerstones.
