A ""how to"" approach to the key issues involved in a global equity offering: which capital markets to tap, and how (public offering versus private placement); which stock exchanges to list on; structuring the underwriting syndicates; due diligence questions; road shows and marketing activities; whether to disclose forecasts; which lawyers should give ""negative assurance"" as to the disclosures in the prospectus; and how to negotiate representations, ""outs"", indemnification and other terms of the underwriting agreements.;A group of leading securities practitioners from different capital markets - the US, Hong Kong, France, Canada, Japan and Australia - take the reader through each stage, using a case study of a global IPO of an emerging markets issuer to illustrate the process. This book should be of interest to securities lawyers, investment bankers, and senior finance officers of companies contemplating a global equity capital-raising exercise.
