“What” Products & Services We Offer:

Auctions & Capital Introductions

Both the OTC Debt Markets and the OTC Equity Markets operate “Dutch Auction” for issuances of Debt and Equity Financial Instruments. A Dutch Auction is an auction in which the price necessary to sell a portion, or all, of an offering becomes the price at which the securities offered are sold. This technique is traditionally used in Treasury auctions and is often used in risk arbitrage.

A Dutch Auction system is one in which the price of an item (equity share or debt note) is gradually lowered until it meets an offer to purchase and is sold. This Dutch Auction is used for all Initial Public Offerings, Corporate Purchases of shares from shareholders, or Corporate Repurchases of Debt Notes or Preferred Equity Shares.

By providing access to institutional bids to private companies that are early stage, growth stage, or later stage, the OTC Debt Markets and OTC Equity Markets each offer a key market indicator of demand and price to build new relationships as companies prepare to list on the OTC Market (Pink Market, Grey Market, OTCQB or OTCQX), the NASDAQ or the NYSE-MKT.

Tender Offers to Purchase or Repurchase

A tender offer is a private market or public bid for shareholders to sell their shares. Typically, a tender offer is commenced when the Company making the offer – the Bidder – places a Notice to Shareholders that states the Company’s willingness to purchase a certain class of its securities at a set price. If the Company is a publicly traded entity, a tender offer must comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC, which include certain disclosure requirements, minimum offering periods, withdrawal rights, manner of publication, and other requirements. Both the OTC Debt Markets and OTC Equity Markets are equipped with “Tender Offer Technologies” that simplify the Notice to Shareholders process, collects shareholder interest, distributes required documentation, and collects signatures from all parties.

Direct Listings on the OTC Market, the NASDAQ, and the New York Stock Exchange

At the continuation of an Equity Round, and for companies that qualify for a listing on the OTC Market, the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange, we are able to assist the issuer (the company that just closed an auction on the OTC Equity Market) in doing a Direct Listing. In a direct listing, also known as a direct placement, a company lists its shares on the OTC Market, the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange without the use of an investment bank or other intermediary.
