IPO Market on the Upswing: The JOBS Act and Other Recent Developments

Recorded on: Jun. 4, 2012
Running Time: 01:08:13

Taken from the briefing IPO Market on the Upswing: The JOBS Act and Other Recent Developments recorded June, 2012.

The IPO market is on the upswing, with strong deal flow and favorable aftermarket performances.  After a lull in the late summer and early fall of 2011, IPO activity picked up considerably at year-end and has continued into 2012, boosted by continuing economic recovery and relatively stable capital markets.  Then, in early April, Congress enacted the JOBS Act, creating an “IPO on-ramp” with relaxed standards for the “emerging growth companies” that represent about 90% of the entire IPO market.  This briefing will cover a variety of recent developments and current trends affecting the IPO market.

The speakers are WilmerHale’s David A. Westenberg, the author of PLI’s acclaimed IPO treatise, Initial Public Offerings: A Practical Guide to Going Public; Brian Truesdale, Head of East Coast Technology Investment Banking for Deutsche Bank; Jonathan Wolfman, co-chair of WilmerHale’s Public Company Counseling group; and Al Subbloie, CEO of Tangoe, which recently completed a very successful IPO and follow-on offering.

Lecture Topics  [Total Time: 01:08:13]

  • Implications of the JOBS Act for IPO companies
  • Current IPO market conditions, and a banker’s perspective on the new “Emerging Growth Company” standards
  • Emerging trends in corporate governance for IPO companies
  • Recent points of focus in SEC review of IPO registration statements
  • An insider’s view of the IPO process
