History
ICAP plc was previously known as Garban-Intercapital plc before changing to ICAP plc in 2001. The previous name was a result of the merger which created the company, with ICAP plc the product of a merger between Garban plc and Intercapital plc in 1999. Both companies were also the products of mergers — Intercapital (originally founded by present CEO Michael Spencer) was the product of a merger with EXCO plc to form Intercapital plc, while Garban plc was the product of several takeovers, starting in 1977 when Harlow, Meyer and Co was to form part of MAI plc. Mallon & Dorney and Garvin GuyButler were both acquired by 1982 and in 1982, Garban LLC was acquired giving MAI plc significant broking interests in the UK and overseas. In 1996, MAI plc was merged into United News & Media plc before being de-merged and listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1998 as Garban plc.[3]
