Considerations For Weathering A Stalled IPO Market 

About The Event 

Over the last year, high-growth private companies have been facing serious headwinds resulting in valuations resetting, reduced venture investment, and a stalled IPO market. Many analysts are cautiously watching for a rebound in the second half of 2023. While we all hold our breath and wait for things to turn around, what are your options now and what can you be doing to be ready when the pendulum swings the other way?  

Computershare and Houlihan Lokey invite you to join a discussion on the current climate and what companies can be doing to position themselves for success as market conditions improve.  

What will we cover: 

• The state of capital markets including private, IPO and de-SPAC  
• Private company liquidity – an overview of your options, the implications on valuation and the treatment of shares in different series 
• Considerations when thinking about employee liquidity 

If you are in a holding pattern with a planned IPO or are keeping your eye on the market for a future IPO, you don’t have to sit idle. Join this session to hear the actions you can be taking now to position your company best in this stalled market.
