Not every company with a great growth story is ready or able to pursue the conventional underwritten public offering pathway to listing on a regulated national stock exchange. This morning briefing will explore the progressively more visible and liquid, but increasingly burdensome, range of private and public trading market alternatives available to earlier stage companies, and will help companies consider what market options fit their state of development best. In addition, we'll consider trends in capital raising for these high growth private and smaller public companies that address the needs of today's dynamic capital markets.
Topics will include:
- TSX Venture Exchange and AIM--regulated stock exchange alternatives for earlier stage companies
- OTC market alternatives available to non-SEC reporting companies and smaller reporting companies
- What does it take to move up to the NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE Amex, Toronto Stock Exchange or London Stock Exchange; is it worth the cost and regulatory burden?
- Getting public through reverse mergers or Form 10 shells
- Emerging role of private company secondary trading market platforms
- Current state of the equity capital markets
- Capital raising trends in the public and private markets, including registered direct offerings, confidentially marketed public offerings, PIPEs and agented private placements.
- Corporate governance, financial reporting and other consequences of trading market and capital raising alternatives
