Frequently asked questions
- 1. When is an IPO the right option versus a private placement?
- Deciding between public and private capital depends on timing, regulatory disclosure burdens, investor appetite, and the company’s long-term ownership goals. We evaluate these factors and outline trade-offs.
- 2. What are the main regulatory considerations for cross-border offerings?
- Cross-border offerings require careful review of each relevant jurisdiction’s securities laws, securities exchange rules, foreign investment restrictions and tax consequences. We coordinate local counsel where required.
- 3. How long does a typical debt issuance take?
- Timing varies: simple domestic issuances may close in weeks, more complex cross-border or rated transactions often require several months for documentation, ratings and regulatory approval.
- 4. Can TRW assist with post-listing compliance?
- Yes. We advise on ongoing disclosure, corporate governance, insider trading policies and other post-listing obligations to help issuers meet regulatory requirements.
- 5. What should companies do to reduce dispute risk in capital transactions?
- Clear drafting, thorough due diligence, properly documented approvals and transparent disclosure reduce dispute risk. We recommend tailored controls and dispute-avoidance measures during transaction planning.
- 6. How do you engage with regulators during a filing?
- We prepare filings and act as the client contact for regulatory questions, coordinating responses and, where appropriate, facilitating meetings with regulators or exchanges.
