IPO
• Also called as Stock Market launch.
• Involves a private company offering its shares
to the public for purchase for the first time.
• Referred to as taking a company public.
• The original investors in the private company
can make fortunes because the new stock is
worth much more than their original
investments.
2/12/2015 8
Mergers & Acquisitions

a new company.
• An acquisition is the purchase of one company by
another in which no new company is formed.
2/12/2015 9
Shares Buyback

predetermined price and keep the ownership
control with him.

promoters are in position to mobilise funds for
buy back of equity held by the venture
investors.
2/12/2015 10
Sales to other Strategic Investors
• VC sells his stake to the strategic buyer who
already owns a business or has plans to enter
target industry.
• The benefit is typically liquidity because if VC
sell the company to a strategic acquirer he/she
might be able to sell most or all of their stock.
• The acquirer may or may not retain the
management team, and may or may not make
substantial changes in the company's operations,
staff, and business lines.

Sales in OTC Market
• OTC(Over-The-Counter) can be used to refer to stocks
that trade via a dealer network as opposed to on a
centralized exchange.
• OTC markets are typically bifurcated into the customer
market – where dealers trade with their clients such as
corporations and institutions – and the interdealer
market, where dealers trade with each other.
• The price a dealer quotes to a client may very well
differ from the price it quotes to another dealer.

Management Buyouts
• A transaction where a company’s management team purchases
the assets and operations of the business they manage.
• A management buyout (MBO) is appealing to professional
managers because of the greater potential rewards from being
owners of the business rather than employees.
• The financing required for an MBO is usually a combination of
debt and equity that is derived from the buyers, financiers and
sometimes the seller.
• The advantage of MBO is that as the existing managers are
acquiring the business, they have a much better understanding of
it and there is no learning curve involved.
• Another advantage is that the company’s debt load may be
lower, giving it more financial flexibility.
