BOOK
Reverse Mergers: Taking a Company Public Without an IPO
David N. Feldman
$66.45

About this product:
Berkshire Hathaway, Turner Broadcasting System, Texas Instruments, Tandy Corporation, Occidental Petroleum, Muriel Siebert & Co., Blockbuster Entertainment, and the New York Stock Exchange all went public without doing initial public offerings. The did so by means of the reverse merger--a method by which a private company buys a majority stake in a public one and thereby becomes public itself.

Reverse Mergers are far more versatile than IPOs. A great number of companies in a wide variety of situtations can use the technique successfully. Reverse mergers are particularly advantageous to smaller companies, many of which are cut out of the IPO market because they do not reach the restrictive criteria set by investment banks.

Written for private company CEOs, CFOs, and the investment bankers, lawyers, and accountants who advise them, this book is the first to explain how reverse mergers work, from both a business and legal perspective. Topics covered include: the pros and cons of going public, deal structures and mechanics, financing, winning market support, best (and worst) practices, due diligence, the regulatory regime, working with companies outside the United States (especially in China), specified purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), and Form 10-SB shells. Anyone interested in the capital markets will want to understand this valuable technique.

The Last Male Bastion: Gender and the CEO Suite in Americas Public Companies
Douglas M. Branson
$87.16

About this product:

Not until 1997 did a female become chief executive officer of a Fortune 500 corporation (Jill Barad, at Mattel Toy Co. Women’s progress since that time has been in fits and starts, exceedingly slow. The number of women CEOs reached 4 in 1999 only to slide back to 2 in 2001. Meanwhile, while not reaching anything approaching parity, women made significant strides in politics (as senators, cabinet secretaries and governors), in not-for-profit spheres (as CEOs of health care and hospital organizations or of United Way chapters, with budgets of billions of dollars), and at colleges and universities (23 % have female presidents or chancellors). Currently, 3%, or 15, of Fortune 500 CEOs are women.

After examining in detail the educations, career progressions, pronouncements and observations, as well as family lives, of the 19 women who have risen to the top (sitting and former CEOs), this book asks, and attempts to answer, two questions:

Why haven’t more women reached the CEO suite?How might women in business better position themselves to ascend to the pinnacle?

About this product:
Uncapped: A Critically Important Workbook For Officers Of Public Companies Hits The Street, Perfectly Timed For Beleaguered CEOs

Volume Focuses On Crucial Issues Of Honesty And Transparency

Offering a cornucopia of sage and provocative advice, useful exercises, and introspective self-examinations, a new book, Uncapped: A Critically Important Workbook for Officers of Public Companies (New Voices Press, 160 pages, $29.95) intends to help officers of public companies large or small better position their businesses in good times and bad. Each chapter of the book includes specific questions that every CEO should answer, worksheets, and a summary of lessons learned.

Written in a no-nonsense, conversational voice, Dian Griesel s third corporate communications book, Uncapped, provides a roadmap for how publicly traded companies can hurdle obstacles, transcend limitations, and free themselves from self-imposed limits. What does it take for small public companies to thrive, let alone survive, in today s financial climate? After more than a decade on the front lines, Griesel founder and CEO of the Investor Relations Group, a full-service IR and PR corporate communications firm that serves smaller public companies believes she knows.

The feedback we ve been getting so far has been wonderful, says Griesel. And to make the prescription for success easier to swallow, the book adds some humor with charming captioned cartoon illustrations, worthy of The New Yorker, that are the work of Griesel s talented eight-year-old daughter Chamonix Hunter McAdam. Readers always begin by complimenting the cartoons. Since there s some tough love in this book, a spoonful of sugar goes a long way!

The inspiration behind this book comes from watching even the most talented CEOs, CFOs, and COOs make familiar mistakes and falter, even when they had good science or great products behind them, she adds. At a time when smaller companies are desperate for funding, Griesel believes there are still plenty of willing investors who will take a position in a smaller growth company if they have confidence in the leader s integrity, and if they believe the company can deliver, whether immediately or eventually, on its promises.
