PrimaryMarkets Pre-IPO Trading Windows

PrimaryMarkets’ efficient trading platform is best positioned to support your company through a controlled pre-IPO secondary trading plan. 

A pre-IPO trading window provides a number of benefits to companies and its shareholders as IPO planning is finalised.

1. Avoid escrow – early stage investors can avoid escrow conditions (up to 2 years) enforced when a company lists on a public exchange
2. Reduce uncertainty – allows existing shareholders who do not want IPO uncertainty or exposure to risk to sell down – trading off future upside for certainty
3. More stability – the Company gets more stable register – less early selling pressure post-IPO
4. Shareholder spread – supports a company seeking shareholder spread
5. Underpin IPO price – can help baseline IPO pricing for the Company
6. Improve access to new investors – allows buyers to ‘get set’ and obtain shares before an expected rush during IPO raise
7. Position for priority offerings – allow buyers to access potential priority offerings at IPO
8. Partial selldowns – allows for partial (or complete) selldowns for early stage investors
9. Builds IPO demand – can help a Company build demand for the IPO
10. Reduced stock dumping – a pre-IPO trading window reduces the likelihood of shareholders dumping stock on the market immediately after listing
