To float on the LSE's main market, a company normally needs a three-year business record, a minimum market cap and shareholder approval for big acquisitions or disposals; NASDAQ and NYSE have similar hurdles.

This marks the second time that the room has been broken into this academic year. The man, wearing a gray New England Patriots cap and a black leather jacket, entered the suite at approximately 5:17 a.m., according to resident Ho A.
