Kleinhardt IPO Process & Defence Planning

Key Skills

There are many ways companies can raise capital and floating the company on the stock exchange is one of them. However, this process is time consuming, costly and will change the complete structure of the company for ever.

To evaluate if the process is the correct decision for your company Kleinhardt will

  • Assess the pros and cons of a public float
  • Recommend any other options available to the company to raise capital
  • Evaluate the culture and experience of the organisation and management
  • Identify Directors that will add value
  • Identify the float team of experts
  • Assist with the development of the prospectus
  • Establish Corporate Governance Guidelines

A public company is often the subject of a takeover bid especially if the share price is perceived to be undervalued. Kleinhardt has experience in mounting a defence strategy to counter an unwanted takeover.

IPO Process & Defence Planning Case Studies

  1. Kleinhardt was asked to provide options for significant fund raising by a company who wished to build a supermarket on land it owned. The various funding sources were analysed and the Board of the company accepted Kleinhardt's recommendation. The company subsequently asked Kleinhardt to produce the Business Plan and other documentation required to raise this capital from a public and private offering as well as a financial institution.
  2. Kleinhardt constructed a defence strategy for the Board of a company under threat of takeover by an unrelated organisation. Kleinhardt's strategy was successful in repelling the bid.
  3. Kleinhardt was asked to value a company's shares prior to a public offering. The revaluation tripled the value of the current shareholders holdings.
  4. Kleinhardt was retained as a consultant in a public float of an integrated tourism development company with interests in hotel development, ownership and management day tour operations, entertainment and transport. The float was highly successful.
