Exchange Listing on the value and use cases of IPOs

Why do companies go public? Why should they go public? When?

You may have asked yourself this: and it’s not just about an exit! Companies might go public for a variety of reasons, including things like capital, liquidity, visibility, expanding investor base, growth opportunities, enhanced corporate governance, and more.

There are a variety of Atlantic Canadian companies listed on the stock exchange:

• Empire Company Limited (TSX: EMP.A)

• High Liner Foods Incorporated (TSX: HLF)

• Stella-Jones Inc. (TSX: SJ)

• Major Drilling Group International Inc. (TSX: MDI)

• Kraken Robotics (CVE: PNG)

In our session with Exchange Listing (hosted by Mickey Freeman), we jumped into considerations for going public, the five key stakeholders in an IPO and other elements, like five key things to consider for a successful IPO execution, including:

• Business readiness

• Diligence Readiness

• S1 Readiness

• Audit Readiness

• Organizational Resilience

There are a range of detailed points and considerations, and this is a great intro webinar to the topic.
