About 1847 Holdings LLC

Roberts, a former partner of Parallel Investment Partners, Saunders Karp & Megrue, and Principal of Lazard Freres Strategic Realty Investors. 1847 Holdings’ investment thesis is that capital market inefficiencies have left the founders and/or stakeholders of many small business enterprises or lower-middle market businesses with limited exit options despite the intrinsic value of their business.

Understanding the Differences Between NQSOs and ISOs: A Guide for Companies

Stock option plans can be a valuable tool for companies to attract and retain talented employees, consultants, and other non-employee service providers. When implementing a stock option plan, it is important to understand the differences between Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQSOs) and Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) to determine which option is best suited for your company’s needs.

Here is a chart summarizing the differences between NQSOs and ISOs:


NQSOs

ISOs


Eligibility

Employees, consultants, and other non-employee service providers

Employees of the company granting the options


Tax Consequences

Bargain element (exercise price – fair market value) is taxed as ordinary income at time of exercise. Subsequent gain or loss is subject to capital gains tax when sold.

No tax due at exercise. Bargain element is subject to AMT at exercise. Subsequent gain is taxed at lower long-term capital gains rate if held for at least two years after grant date and one year after exercise date.


Value

Typically lower potential value due to less favorable tax consequences

Potentially higher value due to tax benefits associated with holding periods


Pricing

Exercise price must be at least equal to fair market value on grant date

Exercise price must be at least equal to fair market value on grant date


Exercise Period

Up to 10 years from the grant date

Up to 10 years from the grant date


Annual Limitations

None

$100,000 per year per employee


Mechanics of Exercising

Employee pays exercise price in cash or using shares of stock. Subsequent gain or loss is subject to capital gains tax.

Employee pays exercise price in cash or using shares of stock. Subsequent gain or loss treated as ordinary income or long-term capital gain or loss depending on holding period.

As you can see, there are key differences between NQSOs and ISOs in terms of eligibility, tax consequences, value, pricing, exercise periods, annual limitations, and mechanics of exercising.

NQSOs can be granted to a wider range of individuals, including employees, consultants, and other non-employee service providers. However, the tax consequences associated with NQSOs are less favorable than those associated with ISOs. The bargain element (the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock at the time of exercise) is taxed as ordinary income at the time of exercise, and any subsequent gain or loss on the stock is subject to capital gains tax when sold.

ISOs, on the other hand, are only available to employees of the company granting the options. However, there is no tax due when the options are exercised, and if held for at least two years after the grant date and one year after the exercise date, any subsequent gain will be taxed at the lower long-term capital gains rate. ISOs have a maximum annual limitation of $100,000 per employee, and must be exercised within 10 years of the grant date. It is important to note that ISOs have specific holding period requirements that must be met to receive the favorable tax treatment. If these requirements are not met, the employee may be subject to additional taxes.

The mechanics of exercising NQSOs and ISOs are similar. The employee must pay the exercise price in cash or by using shares of stock they already own. Once exercised, any subsequent gain or loss.

In conclusion, stock option plans can be a powerful tool for companies to attract and retain talented individuals. When considering implementing a stock option plan, it is important to understand the differences between NQSOs and ISOs to determine which option is best suited for your company’s needs.

While NQSOs may be more flexible in terms of eligibility and pricing, they come with less favorable tax consequences. ISOs are only available to employees of the company, but offer potential tax benefits if certain holding period requirements are met. It is important to consult with a tax professional or legal advisor before implementing a stock option plan to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

By understanding the differences between NQSOs and ISOs, companies can tailor their stock option plans to meet their unique needs and goals.

What Is a 424(b) Filing and Why Is It Important?

If your company is planning to go public or conduct a securities offering in the United States, you’ll need to file a 424(b) prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This filing is required under the Securities Act of 1933 and provides important information to potential investors about the securities being offered and the issuer’s business and financial condition.

In this blog post, we’ll provide an overview of 424(b) filings, including the required disclosures and timing.

What Is a 424(b) Filing?

A 424(b) prospectus is a document that is filed with the SEC as part of the registration process for a securities offering. This document is required for all public offerings of securities, including initial public offerings (IPOs) and secondary offerings.

The 424(b) prospectus provides potential investors with detailed information about the securities being offered, including the offering price, number of shares being sold, and any underwriting discounts or commissions. The prospectus also includes information about the issuer, including its business operations, management team, and financial statements. In addition, the prospectus must disclose any material risks associated with the investment, such as risks related to the issuer’s business, industry, and market.

Why Is a 424(b) Filing Important?

The 424(b) prospectus is an important tool for potential investors who are considering investing in a securities offering. By providing detailed information about the securities being offered and the issuer’s business and financial condition, the prospectus helps investors make informed decisions about whether to invest in the offering.

For issuers, the 424(b) filing is also an important step in the securities offering process. By providing the required disclosures, issuers can help to build trust and credibility with potential investors, which can be essential for a successful offering.

What Are the Required Disclosures in a 424(b) Filing?

The 424(b) prospectus must include a range of disclosures, including:

  • A description of the securities being offered, including the number of shares, the offering price, and any underwriting discounts or commissions.
  • A description of the issuer, including its business and financial information, management team, and principal stockholders.
  • A description of the risks associated with the investment, including risks related to the issuer’s business, industry, and market.
  • Information about how the proceeds from the offering will be used.
  • A description of any material legal proceedings, regulatory actions, or other events that could impact the issuer’s financial condition or operations.

Timing of 424(b) Filings

The timing of a 424(b) filing can vary depending on the type of offering. For an IPO, the prospectus must be filed at least 15 days before the anticipated offering date. For a secondary offering, the prospectus must be filed within five days of the offering. The SEC may also require additional disclosures or revisions to the prospectus during the review process.

Conclusion

If your company is planning to go public or conduct a securities offering in the United States, it’s important to understand the requirements for 424(b) filings. By providing detailed disclosures about the securities being offered and the issuer’s business and financial condition, a 424(b) prospectus can help to build trust and credibility with potential investors, which can be essential for a successful offering. Working with experienced securities attorneys can help to ensure that your 424(b) filing is compliant with SEC regulations and provides the necessary disclosures to potential investors.

Understanding 8-K filings: What they are and why they matter

If you’re an investor in publicly traded companies, you’ve likely heard of an 8-K filing. But what exactly is an 8-K, and why is it important for investors to pay attention to them? In this blog post, we’ll provide an overview of 8-K filings and their significance, so you can make informed investment decisions.

What is an 8-K filing?

An 8-K is a report filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to announce significant events or changes that may affect a publicly traded company’s financial condition or share price. These filings are required by law and must be submitted within four business days of the occurrence of an event that is deemed “material,” or likely to have an impact on the company’s financial condition or stock price.

Examples of events that may trigger an 8-K filing include changes in management or control of the company, acquisitions or dispositions of assets, bankruptcy or receivership, changes in accounting practices or principles, financial results for a completed fiscal quarter or year, major contracts or agreements entered into or terminated, and changes to the company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws.

Why are 8-K filings important?

The purpose of 8-K filings is to provide investors and analysts with timely information about a company’s operations and financial health. By law, companies are required to disclose any material information that could have an impact on their financial performance or stock price. This helps investors make informed decisions about whether to buy, sell, or hold a particular stock.

For example, if a company announces that it has acquired a competitor or entered into a major contract with a new client, this could be considered material information that would require an 8-K filing. Investors can use this information to assess the potential impact on the company’s future revenue and earnings, and adjust their investment strategy accordingly.

How can investors access 8-K filings?

The SEC maintains an electronic database called EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) that provides public access to all filings made by publicly traded companies, including 8-K filings. Investors can search for and access these filings using the SEC’s online portal.

In addition, many financial news websites and investment platforms provide access to 8-K filings, along with expert analysis and commentary. By staying up-to-date on 8-K filings and other material disclosures made by companies, investors can make more informed investment decisions and reduce their exposure to risk.

Conclusion

In summary, 8-K filings are an important tool for investors to stay informed about material events and changes affecting publicly traded companies. By law, companies are required to disclose this information promptly and accurately, giving investors the information they need to make informed decisions about their investments. Investors can access 8-K filings through the SEC’s EDGAR database or through other financial news sources. By staying up-to-date on 8-K filings and other material disclosures, investors can make more informed investment decisions and reduce their exposure to risk. If you have questions about how 8-K filings may affect your investments, it’s always a good idea to consult with an experienced securities attorney.

Reverse Mergers into OTC Companies: Process, Documents, and Timing

A reverse merger into an OTC company can be an attractive option for private companies seeking to go public quickly and at a lower cost. However, it is important to understand the process, documents, and timing involved in this type of transaction to ensure that it is executed successfully and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

The Process

The process of a reverse merger into an OTC company typically involves several steps. First, the private company must identify and negotiate with a suitable OTC company to merge with. This typically involves evaluating potential candidates based on factors such as their financials, industry focus, and management team.

Once a suitable candidate has been identified, the parties will execute a letter of intent or term sheet outlining the basic terms of the transaction. The private company will then conduct due diligence on the OTC company to evaluate its financials, legal history, and other key factors.

The parties will then negotiate and execute definitive merger documents, including a merger agreement and related documents. These documents set forth the terms and conditions of the merger, including the consideration to be paid to the OTC company’s shareholders and the conditions that must be met before the merger can be completed.

The merger must be approved by both the private company’s and the OTC company’s shareholders, which typically involves preparing and filing a proxy statement or information statement with the SEC. Once shareholder approval has been obtained and all other conditions have been satisfied, the merger can be completed.

The Documents

A reverse merger into an OTC company typically involves several key documents. These include:

  • Letter of intent or term sheet: This document outlines the basic terms of the transaction and sets the stage for negotiations.
  • Merger agreement: This is the main document that sets forth the terms and conditions of the merger, including the consideration to be paid to the OTC company’s shareholders, the conditions to closing, and other key terms.
  • Proxy statement or information statement: This document is used to obtain shareholder approval and must be reviewed and approved by the SEC before it can be distributed to shareholders.
  • Other documents: Depending on the specific terms of the transaction, additional documents may be required, such as employment agreements, stock purchase agreements, and escrow agreements.

The Timing

A reverse merger into an OTC company can typically be completed in several months, depending on factors such as the complexity of the transaction, the due diligence process, and the time required to obtain shareholder approval. It is important to work with experienced advisors, such as legal and financial professionals, to help navigate the process and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Conclusion

In summary, a reverse merger into an OTC company can be an attractive option for private companies seeking to go public quickly and at a lower cost. However, it is important to carefully consider the process, documents, and timing involved in this type of transaction, and to work with experienced advisors to ensure that it is executed successfully and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Understanding Emerging Growth Company Status: Advantages and Disadvantages

As a small business looking to go public, you may have heard of the term “Emerging Growth Company” or EGC. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012, companies that meet certain criteria are eligible for EGC status. In this blog post, we’ll explore the requirements to be an EGC, the advantages and disadvantages of this status, and what small businesses should consider before making a decision.

Requirements to be an EGC

To be considered an EGC, a company must meet the following requirements:

  • Annual gross revenues of less than $1.07 billion in its most recently completed fiscal year.
  • Went public within the previous five years.
  • Not have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the previous three years.

Advantages of EGC Status

There are several benefits to being classified as an EGC. These benefits include:

  1. Reduced Disclosure Requirements: EGCs are not required to comply with certain disclosure requirements that are normally required of larger public companies. For example, they are not required to provide executive compensation disclosures or certain financial disclosures. This reduced disclosure burden can be particularly beneficial for small businesses that may not have the resources to comply with all of the regulatory requirements that apply to larger public companies.
  2. Exemption from Certain SEC Regulations: EGCs are exempt from certain regulations that apply to larger public companies. For example, they are not required to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation packages. This regulatory relief can provide EGCs with additional flexibility during the IPO process.
  3. Confidential Submission of IPO Registration Statements: EGCs are allowed to submit their initial IPO registration statements on a confidential basis to the SEC. This provides them with additional flexibility and confidentiality during the IPO process.

Disadvantages of EGC Status

There are also some disadvantages to being classified as an EGC. These disadvantages include:

  1. Limited Duration of EGC Status: EGC status is only available for a limited period of time, generally up to five years after the company’s IPO or until it reaches certain revenue and public float thresholds. After this time period expires, the company must comply with all of the regulatory requirements that apply to larger public companies.
  2. Increased Regulatory Scrutiny after EGC Status Expires: Once a company’s EGC status expires, it must comply with all of the regulatory requirements that apply to larger public companies. This can result in increased regulatory scrutiny and compliance costs.
  3. Reduced Investor Confidence: Some investors may view EGCs as riskier investments due to their limited operating history and reduced disclosure requirements. This reduced investor confidence can make it more difficult for EGCs to raise capital and grow their business.

Conclusion

Being classified as an EGC provides certain benefits and regulatory relief measures to small businesses that have recently gone public or are in the process of going public. However, EGC status is only available for a limited period of time and may result in reduced investor confidence and increased regulatory scrutiny after EGC status expires. Companies considering EGC status should carefully weigh the benefits and drawbacks before making a decision. A qualified securities attorney can provide guidance on the pros and cons of EGC status and help small businesses navigate the complex regulations that apply to public companies.

Staying Compliant: A Guide to Understanding the SEC’s Executive Compensation Rules for Public Companies and Their Legal Counsel

As a legal professional, it’s important to stay up-to-date on the SEC’s executive compensation rules that govern public companies. Failure to comply with these rules can result in significant legal and financial consequences for the company and its directors.

Here are some of the key elements of the SEC’s executive compensation rules that companies and their legal counsel should be aware of:

  1. Disclosure Requirements: Companies must disclose the total compensation of their CEO, CFO, and other named executive officers in their annual proxy statements, including salary, bonuses, stock options, and other forms of compensation.
  2. Performance-Based Compensation: Companies must disclose whether any of their executive compensation is based on performance metrics and provide details about the performance targets that must be met for executives to receive such compensation.

  4. Say-on-Pay Votes: Companies must allow shareholders to vote on executive compensation at least once every three years. This “say-on-pay” vote is advisory in nature, but it provides shareholders with an opportunity to express their views on the company’s executive compensation practices.
  5. Hedging Disclosure: Companies must disclose whether their executive officers and directors are permitted to engage in hedging transactions with respect to the company’s securities.

Compliance with these rules is important to promote transparency and accountability in executive compensation practices and ensure that shareholders have the information they need to make informed decisions about their investments. Failure to comply with these rules can lead to legal action, sanctions from the SEC, and reputational damage.

Legal counsel can assist companies in navigating these complex rules and ensuring that they are in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. An experienced attorney can review the company’s executive compensation practices, draft necessary proxy statements, and help ensure that the company’s disclosures are accurate and complete.

By doing so, companies can help ensure that their executive compensation practices are transparent and fair, and avoid legal and financial consequences. Legal counsel can play a critical role in this process, helping companies navigate these complex rules and ensuring compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

Listing on the NYSE American: Understanding the Key Listing Standards

As a company, maintaining a listing on the NYSE American can provide valuable access to capital markets, investors, and other benefits. However, this also means that the NYSE American has certain standards and requirements that companies must meet to maintain their listing. Failure to meet these standards may result in delisting from the exchange, which can have significant consequences for a company’s operations and reputation.

In this blog post, we’ll provide an overview of the NYSE American delisting standards, including both quantitative and qualitative requirements, to help companies understand what they need to do to maintain their listing.

Quantitative Delisting Standards

The NYSE American has several quantitative standards that companies must meet to maintain their listing. These include:

  1. Minimum price per share: Companies must maintain a minimum average closing price of $1.00 over a consecutive 30-day trading period. This means that the company’s stock must not fall below this threshold for an extended period of time.
  2. Minimum market capitalization: Companies must have a market capitalization of at least $50 million over a consecutive 30-day trading period. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the company’s share price by the number of outstanding shares.
  3. Minimum stockholders’ equity: Companies must maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $4 million. This represents the residual value of a company’s assets after its liabilities have been paid.
  4. Minimum public float: Companies must have at least 1 million publicly held shares outstanding, with a market value of at least $2.5 million. This ensures that there is sufficient liquidity in the company’s stock for investors to buy and sell.

If a company fails to meet any of these quantitative standards, it will be notified by the NYSE American and given a certain period of time to regain compliance. If the company fails to regain compliance within the specified period, it may be delisted.

Qualitative Delisting Standards

In addition to quantitative standards, the NYSE American also has several qualitative standards that companies must meet to maintain their listing. These include:

  1. Non-compliance with financial standards: If a company fails to meet any of the quantitative standards, it will be notified by the NYSE American and given a certain period of time to regain compliance. If the company fails to regain compliance within the specified period, it may be delisted.
  2. Non-compliance with corporate governance standards: Companies must comply with certain corporate governance requirements, such as having a majority of independent directors on its board or maintaining an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in delisting.
  3. Other issues: The NYSE American may delist a company if it fails to meet other requirements or if there are other issues that the exchange determines make continued listing on the exchange inappropriate.

Conclusion

Maintaining a listing on the NYSE American can provide significant benefits for companies, but it also comes with certain responsibilities. Companies must meet both quantitative and qualitative delisting standards to maintain their listing, and failure to do so can have significant consequences. It’s important for companies to understand these requirements and take steps to ensure compliance to avoid being delisted from the exchange.

Beginner’s Guide to the IPO Process

The Initial Public Offering (IPO) Process

An initial public offering (IPO) is when a private company becomes public by selling its shares on a stock exchange. This is a major event for any company, as it allows them to raise capital from the public and become a listed company.

The IPO process can be a complex one, and there are many steps involved. In this blog post, we will take a look at the key steps in an IPO process.

1. Select an investment bank

The first step in the IPO process is for the issuing company to choose an investment bank to advise the company on its IPO and to provide underwriting services. The investment bank is selected according to the following criteria:

  • Reputation
  • Quality of research
  • Industry expertise
  • Distribution, i.e., if the investment bank can provide the issued securities to more institutional investors or to more individual investors
  • Prior relationship with the investment bank

The issuing company will usually issue a letter of intent to the investment bank, which outlines the terms of the underwriting agreement.

2. Due diligence and regulatory filings

Once the investment bank has been selected, the issuing company must undergo due diligence and regulatory filings. This process involves the investment bank reviewing the company’s financial statements, business plan, and other documents. The investment bank will also file the company’s registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The registration statement must contain detailed information about the company, including its financial statements, business plan, and management team. The SEC will review the registration statement and approve it before the company can proceed with the IPO.

3. Pricing

Once the registration statement has been approved, the issuing company and the investment bank will set the price of the shares. The price of the shares will be based on a number of factors, including the company’s financial performance, the market conditions, and the advice of the investment bank.

4. Stabilization

After the shares have been priced, the investment bank will stabilize the market for the shares. This means that the investment bank will buy and sell shares in the market to maintain the price of the shares at a certain level.

The stabilization process is important to prevent the shares from fluctuating too much in the early days of trading.

5. Transition to market competition

Once the stabilization period is over, the shares will be listed on an exchange and begin trading. The issuing company will now be subject to market competition, and its share price will be determined by the supply and demand for its shares.

The IPO process is a complex one, but it is an important step for any company that wants to raise capital from the public and become a listed company.

A Baby Shelf on Form S-3: What You Need to Know

A baby shelf is a provision of Form S-3 that allows companies to register securities for sale up to one-third of their public float over a 12-month period. This can be a useful option for companies that want to raise capital from the public but do not want to have to file a new registration statement each time they want to sell securities.

To qualify for a baby shelf, a company must meet the following requirements:

  • The company must have a public float of at least $75 million.
  • The company must have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 for at least 12 months.
  • The company must have filed a Form S-3 registration statement that has been in effect for at least 12 months.

Once a company has qualified for a baby shelf, it can register securities for sale up to one-third of its public float over a 12-month period. The company can sell the securities at any time during the 12-month period, and it does not have to file a new registration statement each time it sells securities.

Baby shelves can be a useful tool for companies that want to raise capital from the public. They can help companies to raise capital quickly and easily, and they can save companies a lot of time and money.

Here are some of the benefits of using a baby shelf:

  • Quick and easy access to capital. A baby shelf allows companies to raise capital quickly and easily, without having to file a new registration statement each time they want to sell securities.
  • Reduced costs. A baby shelf can save companies a lot of time and money, as they do not have to file a new registration statement each time they sell securities.
  • Increased flexibility. A baby shelf gives companies more flexibility in how they raise capital. They can sell securities at any time during the 12-month period, and they do not have to file a new registration statement each time they sell securities.

Here are some of the risks of using a baby shelf:

  • Market conditions. The market conditions may not be favorable for selling securities, which could make it difficult for a company to raise capital.
  • Investor demand. There may not be enough investor demand for the securities, which could make it difficult for a company to sell them.
  • Competition. There may be too much competition from other companies that are also trying to raise capital.

Overall, a baby shelf can be a useful tool for companies that want to raise capital from the public. It can help companies to raise capital quickly and easily, and it can save companies a lot of time and money. However, there are some risks associated with using a baby shelf, and companies should carefully consider these risks before deciding whether or not to use one.

How to Calculate a Baby Shelf

A baby shelf is a provision of Form S-3 that allows companies to register securities for sale up to one-third of their public float over a 12-month period. This can be a useful option for companies that want to raise capital from the public but do not want to have to file a new registration statement each time they want to sell securities.

To calculate a baby shelf, you will need to know the following information:

  • The number of shares of common stock that are outstanding.
  • The number of shares of common stock that are held by insiders and by institutional investors.
  • The public float.

The public float is the number of shares of common stock that are held by the public. To calculate the public float, you will need to subtract the number of shares that are held by insiders and by institutional investors from the number of shares of common stock that are outstanding.

Once you have the public float, you can calculate the baby shelf by multiplying the public float by one-third. This will give you the maximum number of shares of common stock that you can sell under a baby shelf.

For example, if you have 100 million shares outstanding, 10 million shares are held by insiders and by institutional investors, and the public float is 90 million shares, then you can sell up to 30 million shares under a baby shelf.

It is important to note that the baby shelf calculation is based on the public float as of the date of the registration statement. If the public float changes after the registration statement is filed, you may be able to sell more or less securities under the baby shelf.

To calculate the non-affiliate float for purposes of S-3 eligibility, a company may look back 60 days and select the highest of the last sales prices or the average of the bid and ask prices on the principal exchange.

Nasdaq Listing Tiers: A Guide for Companies

Nasdaq is one of the largest stock exchanges in the world, and it offers three tiers of listing for companies: Global Select Market, Global Market, and Capital Market. Each tier has its own requirements, and companies must meet certain standards to list on a particular tier.

The Capital Market is the lowest tier, and it is reserved for companies with the fewest financial requirements. To list on the Capital Market, a company must have a market value of listed securities of at least $15 million, and at least 300 round lot shareholders. Companies that list on the Capital Market must also meet all of Nasdaq’s listing rules.

The Nasdaq Capital Market has the fewest requirements. Companies that list on the Capital Market must meet the following requirements:

  • Market value of listed securities of at least $15 million.
  • Round lot shareholders of at least 300.
  • Stockholders’ Equity of $5 million
  • Unrestricted publicly held shares of 1 million
  • Audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year.

  • Disclosure of corporate governance practices, including its board of directors’ independence, its executive compensation policies, and its proxy voting policies.
  • Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including those relating to securities fraud, insider trading, and corporate governance.

The tier of listing that a company chooses depends on a variety of factors, including its financial situation, its growth plans, and its investor base. Companies that are looking to raise capital from the public or that are looking to attract a large number of investors may choose to list on the Global Select Market or the Global Market. Companies that are looking to raise a smaller amount of capital or that are looking to attract a smaller number of investors may choose to list on the Capital Market.

No matter what tier a company chooses, listing on Nasdaq can provide a number of benefits, including access to a large pool of investors, visibility to a global audience, and the ability to raise capital. If you are considering listing your company on Nasdaq, it is important to consult with an investment banker or a securities attorney to discuss your options and to make sure that you meet all of the requirements.

What is a PIPE? Private Placement in a Public Entity

A private placement is when a public company sells securities (shares, bonds, etc.) to a small group of investors, rather than selling them to the general public through an initial public offering (IPO). This type of financing can be a good option for public companies that need to raise capital quickly or that want to avoid the costs and scrutiny associated with an IPO.

There are a few different ways that a public company can conduct a private placement. One way is to sell securities directly to a group of investors, such as institutional investors or wealthy individuals. Another way is to sell securities to a broker-dealer, who will then sell them to investors.

What are the advantages of private placements?

There are a few advantages to conducting a private placement. First, it can be a faster and more efficient way to raise capital than an IPO. Second, it can help to avoid the costs and scrutiny associated with an IPO. Third, it can help to build relationships with investors who may be interested in investing in the company in the future.

What are the disadvantages of private placements?

However, there are also a few disadvantages to conducting a private placement. First, it can be more expensive than an IPO. Second, it can be more difficult to find investors who are willing to invest in a private placement. Third, it can be more difficult to get the same level of disclosure and transparency as an IPO.

When should a public company conduct a private placement?

Overall, a private placement can be a good option for public companies that need to raise capital quickly or that want to avoid the costs and scrutiny associated with an IPO. However, it is important to be aware of the risks and disadvantages before conducting a private placement.

Here are some of the factors that public companies should consider when deciding whether to conduct a private placement:

  • The amount of capital the company needs to raise
  • The timeline for raising the capital
  • The company’s financial condition
  • The company’s business plan
  • The company’s investor relations strategy

If you are a public company that is considering conducting a private placement, it is important to consult with an experienced securities attorney to discuss the specific risks and benefits of private placements.

Going to the ATM. At the Market Public Offering

An at-the-market (ATM) offering is a type of secondary offering whereby a public company sells its existing shares directly to the market at prevailing market prices through a broker-dealer. The company can sell shares through an ATM offering at any time, and the amount of shares sold can vary depending on the company’s needs.

ATM offerings are a common way for companies to raise capital, and they can be a good option for companies that want to avoid the costs and scrutiny associated with a traditional secondary offering. ATM offerings can also be a good way for companies to raise capital quickly, as they can be done without having to file a prospectus or obtain shareholder approval.

However, there are also some risks associated with ATM offerings. For example, if the market price of the company’s shares falls below the offering price, the company could lose money. Additionally, ATM offerings can dilute the value of existing shares.

Overall, ATM offerings can be a good way for companies to raise capital, but it is important to weigh the risks and benefits before deciding whether to do an ATM offering.

What is the purpose of an ATM offering?

The purpose of an ATM offering is to raise capital for the company. The company can use the proceeds from the offering for any purpose, such as to repay debt, fund an acquisition, or invest in research and development.

How does an ATM offering work?

An ATM offering works by allowing the company to sell its shares directly to the market at prevailing market prices. The company can sell shares through an ATM offering at any time, and the amount of shares sold can vary depending on the company’s needs.

When a company conducts an ATM offering, it will typically hire a broker-dealer to help it sell the shares. The broker-dealer will then sell the shares to investors at the prevailing market price. The company will receive the proceeds from the sale of the shares, which it can then use for whatever purpose it deems necessary.

What are the benefits of an ATM offering?

There are a number of benefits to conducting an ATM offering. For example, ATM offerings can help companies to raise capital quickly and easily. Additionally, ATM offerings can help companies to avoid the costs and scrutiny associated with a traditional secondary offering.

ATM offerings can also be a good way for companies to raise capital from a wider range of investors. This is because ATM offerings can be done without having to file a prospectus or obtain shareholder approval. This means that ATM offerings can be open to a wider range of investors, including retail investors and institutional investors.

What are the risks of an ATM offering?

There are also some risks associated with ATM offerings. For example, if the market price of the company’s shares falls below the offering price, the company could lose money. Additionally, ATM offerings can dilute the value of existing shares.

Overall, ATM offerings can be a good way for companies to raise capital, but it is important to weigh the risks and benefits before deciding whether to do an ATM offering.

How does an ATM offering affect the company’s stock price?

The impact of an ATM offering on the company’s stock price can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the size of the offering, the company’s financial condition, and the market conditions. However, generally speaking, ATM offerings can cause the company’s stock price to decline. This is because the sale of new shares increases the supply of shares available to the market, which can drive down the price of the stock.

What are some of the alternatives to ATM offerings?

There are a number of alternatives to ATM offerings, such as traditional secondary offerings, private placements, and debt financing. The best option for a company will depend on a number of factors, such as the amount of capital needed, the company’s financial condition, and the market conditions.

Here are some of the key documents and timing involved in an ATM offering:

  • Equity Distribution Agreement: This is an agreement between the company and the broker-dealer that will be selling the shares. The agreement will outline the terms of the offering, such as the price of the shares and the commission to be paid to the broker-dealer.
  • Prospectus: This is a document that must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before the offering can commence. The prospectus will provide information about the company and the offering, such as the company’s financial condition and the use of the proceeds from the offering.
  • Form 8-K: This is a report that must be filed with the SEC within 15 days of the completion of the offering. The Form 8-K will provide information about the results of the offering, such as the amount of shares sold and the proceeds received by the company.

The timing of an ATM offering can vary depending on the company and the market conditions. However, typically, the company will file the prospectus with the SEC and begin the offering process several weeks before it actually needs the proceeds from the offering. This allows the company to gauge investor interest and adjust the terms of the offering as needed.

The company will typically continue to sell shares through the ATM offering until it has raised the desired amount of capital. Once the company has raised the desired amount of capital, it will terminate the ATM offering and cease selling shares.

A Confidentially Marketed Public Offering (CMPO)

A confidentially marketed public offering (CMPO) is a type of public offering that allows a company to raise capital without having to file a prospectus or obtain shareholder approval. In a CMPO, the company sells shares directly to institutional investors without any general solicitation or advertising.

CMPOs are a relatively new type of offering, but they have become increasingly popular in recent years. They offer a number of advantages over traditional public offerings, including:

  • Reduced costs. CMPOs are typically much less expensive than traditional public offerings. This is because they do not require the company to file a prospectus or obtain shareholder approval.
  • Increased flexibility. CMPOs allow companies to raise capital quickly and easily. This is because they do not require the company to go through the traditional public offering process, which can be time-consuming and expensive.
  • Increased confidentiality. CMPOs allow companies to raise capital without having to disclose their financial information to the public. This can be beneficial for companies that are concerned about competitors or investors learning about their financial condition.

However, there are also some disadvantages to CMPOs, including:

  • Reduced liquidity. Shares sold in a CMPO are typically not as liquid as shares sold in a traditional public offering. This is because they are not available to retail investors.
  • Increased risk. CMPOs are considered to be a riskier investment than traditional public offerings. This is because there is less information available about the company and its financial condition.

Overall, CMPOs can be a good option for companies that are looking to raise capital quickly and easily. However, it is important to weigh the risks and benefits before deciding whether to do a CMPO.

Required documents

There are a number of documents that must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in order to conduct a CMPO. These documents include:

  • Form 8-K. This report must be filed within 15 days of the completion of the offering. The Form 8-K will provide information about the results of the offering, such as the amount of shares sold and the proceeds received by the company.
  • Prospectus. This is a document that must be filed with the SEC before the offering can commence. The prospectus will provide information about the company and the offering, such as the company’s financial condition and the use of the proceeds from the offering.
  • Form 4. This report must be filed by any person who sells shares in the offering. The Form 4 will disclose the amount of shares sold and the price at which they were sold.

Process

The process of conducting a CMPO typically begins with the company contacting a broker-dealer to discuss the possibility of conducting an offering. The broker-dealer will then help the company to prepare the necessary documents and to file them with the SEC. Once the SEC has approved the offering, the company can begin selling shares to institutional investors.

Timing

The timing of a CMPO can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the company’s financial condition and the market conditions. However, typically, CMPOs are conducted during times when the stock market is strong and when there is a high demand for new investment opportunities.

De-SPAC: A Guide to the Process

A de-SPAC, also known as a reverse merger, is a process by which a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merges with a private company to take it public.

The SPAC raises money from investors by selling shares in its initial public offering (IPO). The SPAC then uses the proceeds from the IPO to acquire a private company. The private company then becomes a public company through the merger with the SPAC.

Since 2020, there have been over 1,000 de-SPACs.

There are a number of advantages to de-SPACing. First, it is a faster way to go public than a traditional IPO. Second, it gives private companies access to the public markets without having to go through the traditional IPO process. Third, it gives private companies access to the capital they need to grow their businesses.

However, there are also some disadvantages to de-SPACing. First, there is a risk that the private company will not be able to meet the expectations of investors. Second, there is a risk that the private company will not be able to maintain its growth rate after it goes public. Third, there is a risk that the private company will be acquired by a larger company before it has a chance to grow on its own.

Overall, de-SPACing is a new and innovative way to go public. It offers a number of advantages to private companies, but it also comes with some risks.

Timing

The timing of a de-SPAC can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the market conditions and the specific requirements of the SPAC and the target company. However, typically, de-SPACs are conducted during times when the stock market is strong and when there is a high demand for new investment opportunities.

Documents

The following are some of the documents that are typically filed in connection with a de-SPAC:

  • The S-4 registration statement
  • The definitive agreement
  • The proxy statement
  • The prospectus

Process

The de-SPAC process typically begins with the SPAC identifying a target company that it believes would be a good fit for its business model. The SPAC then conducts due diligence on the target company and negotiates a definitive agreement. Once the definitive agreement is signed, the SPAC files the S-4 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC reviews the S-4 registration statement and typically takes 3-6 months to approve it. Once the S-4 registration statement is approved, the SPAC can begin soliciting votes from its shareholders on the merger. If a majority of the shareholders approve the merger, the SPAC and the target company will merge and the target company will become a public company.

Costs

The costs of a de-SPAC can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the size of the SPAC, the complexity of the transaction, and the legal fees incurred.

Listing Requirements for a Nasdaq IPO: What Companies Need to Know

Going public through an initial public offering (IPO) can be an exciting and rewarding time for companies. It’s a significant milestone in a company’s growth and can provide access to additional capital and increased visibility in the marketplace. However, the process of going public can be complex and requires careful planning and execution. In this blog post, we’ll explore the listing requirements for a Nasdaq IPO and what companies need to know to successfully navigate the process.

Financial Requirements:

One of the key requirements for a Nasdaq IPO is meeting certain financial benchmarks. This includes a minimum of $5 million in stockholders’ equity and a minimum of 1.25 million publicly traded shares outstanding. Additionally, Nasdaq requires a minimum market capitalization of $50 million for listing. Companies must also have at least two years of operating history to list on Nasdaq.

Share Price and Corporate Governance:

Companies must also meet certain share price and corporate governance requirements to list on Nasdaq. The minimum bid price for a company’s stock must be at least $4 per share at the time of listing. Nasdaq also has corporate governance requirements that companies must meet, such as having a majority of independent directors on its board and having an audit committee that meets certain standards.

Disclosure Requirements and Compliance with Laws:

In order to list on Nasdaq, companies must meet certain disclosure requirements and comply with all applicable laws and regulations. This includes filing regular reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and complying with Nasdaq’s own reporting requirements.

Navigating the Nasdaq IPO Process:

Navigating the Nasdaq IPO process can be complex and requires careful planning and execution. It’s important for companies to work closely with their underwriters and legal counsel to ensure that they meet all of the necessary criteria for a successful listing on Nasdaq. This includes carefully reviewing all of the listing requirements, preparing the necessary documentation, and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Conclusion:

Going public through an IPO can be a significant milestone for companies, but it requires careful planning and execution. The listing requirements for a Nasdaq IPO are complex and require companies to meet certain financial benchmarks, share price requirements, corporate governance requirements, and disclosure requirements. By working closely with legal counsel such as Carmel, Milazzo & Feil and underwriters, companies can successfully navigate the Nasdaq IPO process and achieve a successful listing on one of the major stock exchanges in the United States.

The IPO: Form S-1 vs. Form F-1

Preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) is a complex process that requires careful planning and execution. One of the key components of an IPO is filing a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There are two types of registration statements that companies can file: Form S-1 and Form F-1. In this blog post, we’ll explore the differences between these two forms and what companies need to know to successfully navigate the IPO process.

Form S-1:

Form S-1 is the most commonly used registration statement for U.S. companies that are planning an IPO. This form is also used for other offerings of securities, such as secondary offerings. Form S-1 requires companies to provide detailed information about their business and financial condition. This includes information about the company’s management, operations, risks, and financial statements. Companies must also provide detailed information about their planned use of proceeds from the offering.

One of the benefits of using Form S-1 is that it allows companies to register a wide range of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, and warrants. It also allows companies to register securities for resale by selling shareholders.

Form F-1:

Form F-1 is used by foreign companies that wish to list their securities on a U.S. stock exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq. One of the key differences between Form S-1 and Form F-1 is that Form F-1 requires additional information about the issuer and its home country. This includes information about the political and economic conditions in the issuer’s home country, as well as any risks associated with investing in that country.

Companies filing a Form F-1 must also provide financial statements that are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This is an important consideration for foreign companies that are accustomed to preparing financial statements under different accounting standards.

Conclusion:

In summary, Form S-1 is used by U.S. companies to register securities, while Form F-1 is used by foreign companies that wish to list their securities on a U.S. stock exchange. While both forms require companies to provide detailed information about their business and financial condition, there are some key differences in the information that must be provided, particularly regarding the issuer’s home country and financial statements.

Companies that are considering an IPO should work closely with their legal counsel and underwriters to determine which form is appropriate for their particular situation. The IPO process can be complex and requires careful planning and execution. By understanding the differences between Form S-1 and Form F-1, companies can successfully navigate the registration process and achieve a successful listing on a U.S. stock exchange.

Understanding Secondary Offerings: A Comprehensive Guide for Companies and Shareholders

As a lawyer, I often get asked about secondary offerings and the process involved in conducting one. In this blog post, I will provide a detailed overview of what a secondary offering is, the documents and steps involved in the process, and the timing considerations that should be taken into account.

What is a Secondary Offering?

A secondary offering is the sale of additional shares of a company’s stock by existing shareholders, rather than by the company itself. This type of offering provides a way for existing shareholders to sell some or all of their shares in a company to the public or other investors. The proceeds from the sale of the shares go directly to the selling shareholders, rather than to the company.

Documents and Process Involved

The process of a secondary offering involves several steps and documents that need to be carefully considered and prepared. These steps include:

  1. Registration Statement

The selling shareholders must file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prior to the offering. This statement contains information about the company, its financial statements, and the securities being offered. It is important to ensure that the information provided in the registration statement is accurate and complete, as any material misstatements or omissions could result in liability for the selling shareholders.

  1. Underwriting Agreement

The selling shareholders will typically work with an investment bank or other underwriter to facilitate the offering. The underwriting agreement sets out the terms of the offering, including the price, number of shares, and other conditions. It is important to ensure that the underwriting agreement is carefully drafted to reflect the terms of the offering and to protect the interests of the selling shareholders.

  1. Prospectus

The prospectus is a document that provides detailed information about the offering to potential investors. It includes information about the company, the shares being offered, and the risks associated with investing in the company. The prospectus must be carefully drafted to ensure that it is accurate and complete, and that it complies with applicable securities laws.

  1. Marketing and Pricing

The underwriter will work to market the offering to potential investors and determine the price at which the shares will be sold. It is important to ensure that the marketing materials and pricing are consistent with the terms of the offering and the disclosures made in the registration statement and prospectus.

  1. Closing

Once the offering is priced and marketed, the underwriter will purchase the shares from the selling shareholders and then resell them to investors. It is important to ensure that the closing process is properly documented and that all necessary approvals are obtained.

Timing Considerations

The timing of a secondary offering can vary depending on a number of factors, including market conditions and the regulatory approval process. The SEC typically reviews registration statements within 30 days of filing, but the process can take longer if the agency has questions or concerns. The underwriting process, marketing, and pricing can also take several weeks or even months to complete. In some cases, the company may need to obtain shareholder approval before the offering can proceed. Overall, the timing of a secondary offering can range from several weeks to several months, depending on the complexity of the offering and the regulatory requirements involved.

Conclusion

A secondary offering can be a complex and time-consuming process that requires careful planning and preparation. As a lawyer, I strongly advise companies and selling shareholders to work with experienced professionals to ensure that all legal and regulatory requirements are properly addressed. This can help to minimize the risk of liability and ensure that the offering proceeds smoothly and efficiently.
