Term Sheet — Monday, June 27

Today, it's all about Brexit:

Connal from Dublin: “Already plenty of people live in Ireland and take the red eye to London on Monday morning returning Thursday. Reversing that for those who wish to continue living in the U.K. and work in Dublin is easy... Our International Financial Services Centre, based in the Dublin Docklands, has about 30,000 people working in it. There are hundreds of thousands of square feet of new office accommodation currently being built there and I think there's still a further 60 acres of derelict space adjacent. From the IFSC to Dublin Airport is a 20-minute drive. With direct flights from, in the West, San Fran, LAX, LDN and, in the East, soon to be announced flights to China, world connectivity is not an issue. Plus, Ireland has pre-clearance of U.S. customs at Irish airports - once through Dublin or Shannon you are effectively on US soil. To summarise, every Irish business person and business commentator was urging everyone in Britain to vote 'Stay.' Now we are planning on how to minimise the undoubted damage and maximise any opportunity. Morgan Stanley has already said today they're looking at possibly moving 2,000 from London to Dublin. Many, many more could follow.”

UK entrepreneur Alain: “For internationally expanding companies, the referendum decision of course changes the dynamics. On the one hand, we need to ensure it does not threaten our ability to attract global talent to the U.K. that is essential in growing our business. If it does, we will have to adapt, and fast, which is something tech companies do well. On the flip side, the weakening pound will make an investment in UK’s leading start-ups even more attractive to U.S., Asian and European investors, and will help elevate U.K. start-ups on the global map. "

Vito: "Since private equity firms are leading experts in cross border finance, I see no hit to fund operations. Some criticism aimed at PE does relate to playing different tax jurisdictions off each other in getting the most tax efficient corporate structures. This makes the expertise found at PE firms all the more valuable."

Justin: "I am hoping the Brexit will spur interest in assets abroad by British middle-market private equity groups, in the States and elsewhere, as they search for ways to diversify their new regulatory risk stemming from current portfolio companies."

Gerry: “While foreign currency traders and market makers who thrive on volatility are cheering Brexit, the private equity managers are taking a more sober outlook… Brexit may not have an immediate impact on the free movement of capital and goods as the U.K. and the EU must negotiate a withdrawal agreement pursuant to the 2009 Lisbon Treaty. In the meantime uncertainty will loom as to what the negotiations will produce. Will the U.K. continue to have access to the EU market without change? Will the EU countries have access to the U.K. markets? Will egos of politicians prevent cross border trade or enact tariffs on cross border trade? These uncertainties will more likely than not have an impact on valuation. The PE manager trying to exit an investment may have a harder time. On the flip side. PE managers looking to make investments might actually enjoy the instability. It may make their negotiating position much stronger and they can factor in the potential instability to their ROI. After all, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
