- Structuring and Restructuring the Transaction
We advise you on key aspects of public offerings and admission to listings such as the optimal size of the capital increase and the number of existing shares to be sold, best timing, the right stock exchange, and the composition of the underwriting syndicate.
We prepare a detailed timetable for the issue, breaking down all the necessary steps and the parties involved for smooth action. As well, we partner with external advisers to walk you through each stage of the process when the complexity of your case requires second opinion.
2. Corporate Valuation and Due Diligence
The due diligence review provides the basis for the valuation of the enterprise, crucial in determining the issue price. Putting together an engaging prospectus requires the development of a convincing investment story firmly grounded in analysis and valuation. To this effect, in the course of establishing the value, we describe your enterprise in meticulous detail as a primer for a scenario and sensitivity analysis.
3. Preparing the Prospectus
Statutory regulations require the preparation of a detailed prospectus for an IPO in which the enterprise and the offering are exhaustively described. This is what constitutes the legally binding basis of the offering.
4. Choice of Stock Exchange and Markets for Placement
Depending on the distinct specificities of your company and various other contingent factors, different stock exchanges may be worth considering for an IPO. Similarly, the choice of investors for a placement requires careful consideration, which we discuss with you at an early stage.
5. Documentation
In addition to the prospectus, a number of other documents are required for admission to listing. Particularly vital are contracts with the underwriting syndicate and lawyers’ and auditors’ expert opinions, which put the issue on a sound footing and help to prevent unpleasant surprises. We work with independent experts on the preparation of these documents before they start a life in the market.
6. Coordination of Marketing Activities
PR consultants assist with the issue. We help you to choose the agency and work with the agency to coordinate all the necessary marketing activities such as the marketing strategy and plan complete with the production of all the marketing documents. We organize the road show for international investors in the relevant countries and prepare you thoroughly for the standard questions investors ask.
7. Placing your Shares with Quality Investors
Following the listing, placing your shares with top quality investors is critical for the market performance of the stock. Our team ensures optimal placing of your shares and the best possible start on the exchange.
8. Employee Participation Schemes
Maintaining a value-based management and motivated staff through employee participation schemes have proved pivotal for the success of a business. Share schemes could be couched on the need to retain employees over a medium to long-term tenure and/or to boost an increased identification of staff with the business. |
