'Acquiring Cobalt underscores Momentive's dedication to making strategic technology investments that deliver greater value to our customers and partners. The Cobalt team is joining us at a great time in our journey, and I look forward to growing our team and continue delivering user-friendly solutions to help nonprofits and associations sustain mission growth. Our recent launch of Automated Payments for MIP Accounting and improved payment experience with Clover Go integration, coupled with these acquisitions forge the path in our ability to change the industry.'
Nearly 200 enterprise organizations leverage Cobalt's Engagement Dynamics AMS and certification offerings to enhance membership and credentialing management and donor engagement, automate and streamline business processes, drive revenue and attract funding for greater community impact. The acquisition advances Momentive's efforts to enhance its end-to-end solutions portfolio, offering customers a choice to meet their unique association management needs to maximize mission impact.

Metals investor Cobalt Holdings scraps London IPO plans
(Reuters) -Metals investor Cobalt Holdings said on Wednesday that it would not proceed with its planned initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange, ending hopes for what could have been the largest listing in the UK capital since early 2024. The company declined to specify the reasons for dropping its listing plans days after it was priced at $2.56 per share. However, one person with knowledge of the process said that the process was halted as a result of lack of investor demand. The person was speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The about $230 million market debut would have been London's largest since Air Astana's listing in February 2024. London has struggled to attract new listings, prompting reforms last year to make it more competitive with New York and the European Union after Brexit. Several London-listed firms in recent years have also moved their primary listing to New York or picked Europe for IPOs, where they believe they can fetch better valuations. Unilever (ULVR.L) chose Amsterdam as the primary listing for its ice cream business Ben & Jerry's in February while online fast-fashion retailer Shein turned to Hong Kong for its IPO, Reuters reported last week. Glencore (GLEN.L) and affiliates of investment firm Anchorage Structured Commodities Advisor had agreed to buy about 20.5% of the shares to be offered in Cobalt's IPO when it was first announced in early May. Cobalt, which holds physical cobalt and has a contract to buy from Glencore, had plans to use the majority of the IPO proceeds to buy an initial 6,000 metric tons of the key battery metal, worth around $200 million, from the global miner.

Cobalt Holdings Won't Proceed With London IPO

Should Anyone Be Buying What Glencore Is Selling?
Commodity giant Glencore Plc produces lots of cobalt, the metal that goes into batteries. So much that it doesn't know what to do with it all. So why not create a second-hand market? Enter Cobalt Holdings Plc, a company trying to raise $230 million in an initial public offering in London. The venture's business model is simple: Raise money from investors, use the proceeds to buy about 6,000 metric tons of cobalt from Glencore, stick the metal in several warehouses and wait. Hopefully, prices will rise. Or not.
