Direct Public Offering
Under SEC Regulation S, Companies seeking to raise capital can now use "General Solicitation/Advertising" to locate non-US investors through a foreign direct public offering. In addition, companies can also utilize mailing lists and pay finders fees to non-US persons.
What is a Direct Public Offering DPO?
A direct public offering differs considerably from the well known IPO (initial public offering) or venture capital or other forms of early stage financing. It combines elements of these techniques but adds a dimension that can be very powerful for you.
A direct public offering (DPO) generally are IPO's but with out the help of investment bankers. A foreign direct public offering is a hybrid between an IPO and a private placement offering. It is, in reality a private placement under Regulation S. However, an issuer can utilize all the benefits of a traditional direct public offering without the need of SEC registration and other compliance requirements. Under Regulation S, a US company can engage in a "foreign" direct public offering so as long as the stock is not sold to US investors.
The advantages of raising capital through a direct public offering is that you never have to pay the funds back, such as a loan. Also, you don't have the continual need to meet interest and principal payments, or worry that a loan may be called.
