Book description
In good markets or bad, reverse mergers play a key role for companies
that want to avoid the IPO route for going public. Since the successful
first edition of
Reverse Mergers
was published in 2006, the economic and regulatory landscape has
changed. Executives, owners, lawyers, accountants, professional
investors, regulators, and others need to know what those changes mean
for reverse mergers.
Reverse-merger expert David Feldman gives an overview of the most
important changes since the previous edition was published: new SEC
regulations, the changing nature of SPACs (Special-Purpose Acquisition
Company), and the emergence of new instruments called WRASPs (WestPark
Alternative Senior Exchange Process). The book includes a new chapter on
China, and the “Experts Speak” chapter features all new interviewees.
David Feldman is one of the country's leading experts on reverse
mergers, self-filings, and other alternatives to IPOs. His firm has
guided hundreds of companies on going public, advising them on structure
and mechanics, financing, due diligence, regulatory issues, and more.
