Decisions, decisions, decisions: Making Good Decisions about Important Issues during Your Company’s IPO
Like building a new house, the pre-IPO process is wrought with decisions. And they come not by the dozen but often by the bushel. This white paper alerts management of companies considering going public of the questions to be faced: some basic, choice of Structures & domicile (pros, cons, why’s wherefores), some a bit more intricate: asset protection, insurance, compensation realignment, committee structure, records and record keeping/monitoring/accessing, “cheap stock” issues, tax. This is like getting a Master’s in IPO management! Coffee in hand and a desk full of blueprints before you, how did you get into this position? Where did the instruction manual go for all these plans that seem to cascade into confusion? Where were the polite architect and the happy show announcer who claimed all that was necessary was a little creativity and ‘no money down’? The phone rings as all the neighbors proffer suggestions and inquire as to timetables regarding your neatly labeled addition. As if this emerging project could have been kept a secret with the lumbering cement truck recording seismographic readings through the cul-de-sac. You are here; there is no turning back and the choices before you will completely determine the future value of your property and the relationships of the neighbors that you have some degree of fondness for. What can you do but jump in? Such a frenzied picture is fairly typical of the initial public offering (IPO) decision-making process. The concept began as a fresh and new way to leverage your business and invite others into the company, to raise capital, and to expand assets. No PERT chart could have accurately depicted the content and the rate of pace with which decisions would be required and choices needed. What happened to the next stage of business life cycles? As is the case in any construction, contractors and weather wait for no IPO miser. While the volume of their screams may be reduced to a minor headache, the decisions are critical and a misstep or wrong selection can completely alter everything. This is the time to be introduced to the IPO blueprint in a manner that is systematic, logical and without hype. This white paper will walk you through these important concepts and their necessity in the craftsmanship of both a company and an addition that you can be comfortable with and dare we say proud of for many years to come. Laying the foundation: the IPO Structure and why The old adage is never truer than in the process of IPO creation: Build a strong foundation and your structure will last. But what should this foundation consist of? Let us essentially see the framework of this first step as a three-part process.
What solidifies this process and ensures the success of the foundation? A very non-construction like comment called, Pre-talk. During the creation of an IPO framing, the bankers spend time reviewing the components of the emerging IPO with each of their major buyers. During these talks, the bankers are able to gauge where they will need to price the IPO. The concept is to let the IPO investors -- who are typically the customers of the bank’s other financial services -- in on the IPO at a discount to the price at which it will begin trading. All of this is very legal and above board – no pun intended. [continued...] Want to know more?
