Nabarro has advised the Arsenal Supporters’ Trust on the creation of the new Arsenal Fanshare scheme which will see portions of shares in the club made available for purchase by supporters.
The innovative structure of the new scheme will allow fans to pool money and own units of shares which would normally be out of the financial reach of the average supporter. Fans will be able to put in anything from £10 to £1,000 a month, with a minimum total payment of £100 for one ‘fanshare’.
Corporate partner Glyn Taylor – a member of the Arsenal Supporters’ Trust and now also a board member of the Fanshare scheme – led the team assisted by Financial Services associate Jake Green.
Mr Taylor said: “It is a groundbreaking and unique scheme which has taken a long time to reach fruition. We hope that other clubs will consider taking up similar initiatives.”
In return for their investment, fanshare owners will be able to attend the club’s annual general meeting, ask questions of the directors and vote on policy.
