Structuring an International IPO

Jeffrey Taylor and Tim Drew authored a section of Frederick Lipman’s new book, International and U.S. IPO Planning:  A Business Strategy Guide. 

Mr. Taylor discusses the methodology of structuring an IPO for a U.S. company and reviewed the mechanics of forming a foreign holding company and avoiding the burdensome reporting requirements of SEC rules as well as costly provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX).

Mr. Drew discussed the methodology of structuring an IPO for a U.S. company and explored an AIM public offering as well as public offerings on other international stock markets, such as the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

This section of the book also contains a comparison of the costs of an IPO on NASDAQ and on the AIM and a comparison of post-IPO costs on both exchanges.
