In an era of few IPOs and greater expenses associated with becoming a publiclytraded company, chief financial officers are taking a close look at the merits of going public via reverse mergers. Venture capitalists are revisiting exits via reverse mergers. Corporate executives are increasingly enamored with favorable characteristics of reverse mergers such as:

• Speed and ease of completion
• Radically reduced expenses of becoming public
• Elimination of need for favorable market conditions
• Maintain control of company
• Less dilution of insiders’ holdings

Moreover, the stigma associated with reverse mergers should dissipate due to the SEC removing noncompliant shells from the landscape. Also, since many reverse merged companies are undercapitalized and have illiquid trading, management teams must be aware of their financing options as well as be committed to developing a powerful investor awareness campaign. Some of the financing techniques that reverse merger companies must be familiar with include: 

• Private Investments in Public Entities
• Special Purpose Acquisition Corporations
• S-4 Spin-offs 
• 505 Offerings 
• 506 Offerings

Reverse Mergers are the Key to Forward Motion for Small Companies

Many executives of small companies appreciate the benefits of a public listing--greater access to capital, ability to incentivize employees with stock and stock options and enhanced visibility. Forward thinking CEOs and CFOs are beginning to realize that these benefits outweigh the drawbacks—such as compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley--of being public.

However, not every company has the history and financial heft to launch an IPO. Many of the companies that meet the requirements to IPO are dissuaded from doing so. Oftentimes, the IPO window is shut. Volatile markets make timing difficult. Operating in an unpopular industry makes IPOing even more dicey and these companies are likely to receive lower valuations. The roadshow process is grueling and expensive. We believe that reverse mergers will be given the respect they deserve. The combination of a safer investment environment ushered in by more stringent regulatory oversight and greater access to capital, enhance the appeal of investing in reverse mergers.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to listen to some of the nation’s savviest investment bankers, lawyers and company executives discuss the keys to success for executing reverse mergers.
