Private investments in public equity (PIPEs) offer a practical
financing alternative for companies seeking capital and a unique
asset for investors. For practitioners who know how to identify and
execute transactions, PIPEs present a growing opportunity.
This revised and updated guide presents the views, voices, and
invaluable expertise of leading practitioners from all specialties
in the field. The book is divided into three parts: "The Business
of PIPEs," which provides a historical backdrop and overview;
"Regulatory Landscape and Structural Alternatives," which details
the legal framework and transaction structures; and "Deal Flow,"
which offers the investor's perspective on negotiating
deals.
With detailed discussions, ranging from the origins of the
marketplace and deal structures to legal considerations and due
diligence, and from finding new opportunities to trading
strategies, this book provides a clear window to the inner workings
of this active area of the small-cap market. Investors, financial
analysts, investment bankers, corporate and securities attorneys,
and executives of public companies will find substantial value in
the pages of this book.
