The Cost-Benefit of IPO and then staying Listed

12

The realities of contemplating listing or remaining listed on the an Exchange

What does all this really mean? ➢ Illiquidity for shareholders, investor short termism, limited broker support and difficulty raising new capital. ➢ Initial and ongoing high costs. ➢ Compliance brings costly infrastructure and increased overheads. ➢ Strategic & operational focus taken away with high-maintenance compliance regime. ➢ Attracts undue attention from shareholder activists, short sellers, ligation-funded class actions and opportunistic takeover offers. ➢ Exchanges enforces controls on companies for diversity, gender targets, social responsibility and “social licence to operate”.
