  5. Is an IPO right for you, right now? Most significant corporate event in a company’s. Clear objectives of the IPO should be determined upfront Benchmark of value? Increased profile and global awareness of the company? Monetisation for current shareholders at IPO, liquidity thereafter? Increased attention from lenders and institutions - access to growth capital? Creates currency (stock) to pursue further acquisitions? Platform for employee incentivisation?

  6. Is an IPO right for you, right now? The devil is in the detail Are prospects for growth sufficiently assured and visible? ? Is a 3 year financial track record available and does it “sell” the business? ? Is the Board settled? Are the CEO and CFO experienced? Independent directors? ? Customer concentration, competition, macro-economic issues? ? Is the business model / strategy suitable for the public markets? Restructuring needed? ? Are financial and legal contracts (IP patents, mining rights,…) in place? ?

  7. Your Equity Story Key part of the IPO planning process • Be sure you understand what is meant by term “equity story” • “Roadshow test” • Simple, easily intelligible story • 25 minutes • Summary in prospectus, analyst and roadshow presentations • Offering shares on the stock market is like any market with buyers and sellers • Consider the “buyer’s” vantage point A clear, well thought-out equity story will substantially increase the likelihood of success

  8. Pre-IPO preparation Key to efficient and rapid progress – there are no short-cuts Pre - IPO preparation IPO preparation / execution Marketing and pricing Due diligence Documentation Restructuring Financial statements Business plan Target valuation Equity story / positioning Appointments Structure and logistics Marketing preparation An adviser will advise on structure and positioning; select, negotiate and manage Bookrunners and other third parties; spot pitfalls and manage the whole process

  9. Typical “post-preparation” timetable Following a period of preparation the execution takes c.5 months Month 1 Month 2 Month 3 Month 4 Month 5 Organisation Appoint legal advisers Appoint Bookrunners Kick off meeting Business plan, valuation, capital structure and corporate governance Business plan Review corporate governance and appoint INEDs Equity story and valuation Due diligence, financials & documentation Carry out legal and financial DD and establish dataroom Prepare audited accounts and accounting reports Draft prospectus Liaise with listing authority Offer structure & marketing Define offer structure Research reports published Analyst presentation Investor education Roadshow and bookbuild Pricing

  10. Valuing companies before an IPO Route to “price discovery” • Closing the valuation gap • Market valuation may differ from management / shareholders’ approach to value • An independent adviser will ensure there is a meeting of minds on value throughout the process The “Valuation Vacuum” risk A period of time, which may be several months, between the pitch and pricing where valuation is not discussed

  11. Choosing your team A financial adviser will guide you in the appointment of all third parties Bookrunners Lawyers Accountants Role • Sell stock broadly • Achieve your target price • Support after market effectively Role • Explain laws, regulations and market practice and ensure compliance • Run legal workstream • Provide formal legal opinions Role • Audit • Transaction services • Financials for prospectus • Financial due diligence reports • Financial controls review / implementation • Working capital report What you are looking for • ECM experience in your: • Sector • Region • Analyst credibility / expertise • Understanding of equity story and valuation • Strength of execution team • Investor relationships • Fees What you are looking for • Strength of Partner and their team • ECM experience in your: • Country • Sector • Ability to solve problems • Fees What you are looking for • Strength of team • Ideally one of Big 4 • Familiarity with Company • Familiarity with country of domicile • Fees Others Financial PR Junior syndicate members Printers

  12. Bookrunners’ have 3 “clients” Company’s and Bookrunner’s objectives are not always aligned Investors / Internal issues Company / Shareholders Bookrunners Bookrunners have other “clients” 1. Company / Shareholders • Pay the IPO commission • Potential for future business (M&A, equity) • League table credit • Credential / publicity 2. Investors • Material recurring commissions for equity sales • IPO pricing conflicts can arise here as the bank “looks after” investors 3. Internal “clients” within every Bookrunner • Commitment committee • Valuation committee • Sustainability committee • Internal legal department • Internal compliance Important to note: Bookrunners’ equity research team have explicitly one client – the buyers

  13.
