In recent years,
going public through a merger with a public
"shell" has become much more popular and
accepted within the Wall Street community.
And a very limited IPO market has made
reverse mergers more and more attractive for
companies that can benefit from being publicly
held.
In this special Second Annual Reverse
Merger Summit, David Feldman, recognized as the
leading attorney in the reverse merger area,
along with a group of expert speakers and SEC
representatives, will talk about new trends and
developments (including pending new SEC
regulation in this area), the costs, and pros
and cons of acquiring a shell vs. forming one
yourself, trends in financing, including PIPE
(private investment in public equity)
transactions, an introduction to SPACs (Special
Purpose Acquisition Companies) and how they
work, an update on due diligence, valuation and
investor relations issues, and much more more.
The conference offers two optional
hands-on workshops, one an introduction to
reverse mergers and the other a session on
advance legal issues in these complex
transactions.
Whether you have done many reverse
mergers.or none, if you are interested in this
area, you cannot afford to miss this event!
