Strategies for going public
Fourth edition
An IPO is an important event in the life of an organization as they seek to grow. Executing the IPO is the initial step in being a public company.
The changing landscape for IPOs
The market for Initial Public Offerings (IPO) has never been more complex or challenging than it is today. The legacy of the financial crisis, and the economic volatility that continues to impact the markets, have made investors even more diligent in their scrutiny of IPOs. In addition, new legislation introduced since the crisis has only added to the complexity of these transactions. In particular, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) and the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) have added many new requirements and considerations to the IPO process. Finally, timing is critical and essential, and being able to take advantage of window of opportunity is key to a successful IPO.
Published by Deloitte Risk and Financial Advisory in collaboration with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates, this publication aims to help organizations effectively prepare for an IPO. It provides a straightforward explanation of the process, highlights the common technical terms and language encountered during an IPO, and outlines the new regulatory requirements that organizations will need to take into account as they seek to “go public.”
