Walkers, as Cayman Islands counsel, assisted lead counsel Latham & Watkins, in advising Tabby, the MENA region’s leading financial services and shopping app, on its US$160 million series E funding round, pushing its valuation to US$3.3 billion.
The round was led by existing investors Blue Pool Capital and Hassana Investment Company, with participation from Wellington Management and STV.
We also advised Tabby on its Series D financing in October 2023. Since then, the company has almost doubled its annualized transaction volumes to over US$10 billion while growing profitability.
Tom Cochrane, funds partner, commented: "It's great to be involved on another remarkable transaction for Tabby, and we are pleased to have been able to support them. It has allowed us the opportunity to demonstrate our team's strengths in advising on high complex transactions in this space. Congratulations to everyone involved."
The Walkers team was led by Tom Cochrane (Partner, Corporate & Funds) with support from Reghard Smith (Senior Counsel, Corporate & Funds) and Tania Diab (Associate, Corporate & Funds).
