Synopsis:

pipes, or private investments in public equity, are an increasingly important financing alternative for companies. steven dresner, who publishes the pipes report, the first publication in this field, and e. kurt kim, ceo of privateraise, a leading source for comprehensive market intelligence on private placements, are perfectly positioned in the field. the first edition has become the standard reference on pipes. this edition both updates and improves on that standard.

the use of pipes as a means for public companies to raise capital has grown considerably over the past decade. a pipe, or private investment in public equity, was once a little-understood strategy used by relatively few companies and investors. today these privately negotiated transactions offer a practical (and in many cases, preferred) financing alternative for companies, regardless of their size or sector. they also present opportunity for investors and advisers who know how to identify and execute viable pipe transactions.

here at last is the definitive guide to pipes, presenting the views, voices, and invaluable expertise of leading practitioners from all specialties in the field. the book is divided into three parts: “the business of pipes,” which provides a historical backdrop and overview; “regulatory landscape and structural alternatives,” which details the legal framework and transaction structures; and “deal flow,” which offers the investor’s perspective on assessing and investing in deals.

thorough discussions, ranging from the origins of the marketplace to deal structures, from legal considerations to due diligence, and from finding opportunities to trading strategies, provide a rich perspective on the inner workings of this active area of the private equity market. institutional investors, financial analysts, investment bankers, corporate and securities attorneys, executives of public companies, and even the sophisticated investor will find substantial value in the pages of this book.
