Raising Capital and the IPO Process

Topics

• Raising Capital and the IPO Process
   

Compared to 2014, IPO and follow-on transaction activity in 2015 has been lagging. Market volatility, triggered by international news from Greece and China for example and from uncertainty on domestic interest rate policies, may have kept some investors on the sidelines. Yet, at the same time, the fundamentals of the U.S. economy are sound.  
 
IPO transaction activity in the healthcare and life sciences sectors totaled 44% of all Q3 2015 IPOs signaling their continued confidence in the IPO as the right form of capital to support long development and regulatory approval processes. And when examining follow-on activity, healthcare and life sciences sectors represented a solid 48% of all middle market follow-on transactions in Q3 2015—an increase from only 18% year over year.

Join capital markets professionals from CohnReznick, Raymond James, and Mintz Levin, along with an exclusive group of life sciences executives, to discuss how today’s economic and market conditions are impacting the ability of Healthcare and Life Sciences companies to access public equity capital.
