Reverse Merger: Is the "Reverse" Being Lost?
Summary
Are promoters and consultants ruining the reverse merger market? Let’s explore the intricacies of reverse mergers.
Understanding Reverse Mergers
A reverse merger involves a private company merging with a public shell company, which typically lacks significant assets or liabilities. Occasionally, these shells may have some funds available for investment. The term "shell" refers to the public corporation's remaining structure and shareholders.
Private company owners generally acquire most (90-95%) of the shell's stock through new shares issued for private enterprise or assets. The public entity often adopts the private company's name, forms a new board, and appoints officers. It also maintains a sufficient shareholder base to qualify for markets like the NASDAQ Small-Cap.
Challenges and Costs
After due diligence confirms a clean shell with no adverse history, private companies often proceed, paying substantial sums?"sometimes between $500,000 to $700,000?"for a Bulletin Board shell to acquire 90-95% of its stock. A significant issue arises when shell owners insist on clauses preventing reverse stock splits, countering the merger's initial intent.
For example, imagine a shell with 30 million shares outstanding, and a private company buying 90% for half a million dollars. If these shares then trade at $3.50, initial shareholders benefit immensely, often offloading their shares, leading to market price fluctuations and forcing the new owners to buy shares to stabilize prices.
Shell owners holding a substantial number of shares can cash in significantly, further complicating matters. Market makers and traders may foresee this dilution, establishing short positions and driving prices down.
Navigating the Process
Reverse mergers can succeed with the right consultant, one who avoids conflicts of interest common among shell owners, securities attorneys, and consultants acting in multiple roles. Before proceeding, it’s crucial to scrutinize consultants and shell owners vigilantly.
Don't overlook alternative methods of going public, each with its own pros and cons. If opting for a reverse merger, strive to control all shares, ensuring fewer surprises.
