*FULL* Reverse Takeovers

This course is FULL.

Preparing for an IPO and going through new listing requirements involve enormous time, costs and liabilities. Are there any ways to avoid these in order to achieve a listing status? From time to time the market is hot with buying and selling of “Listed Shells” for the purposes of backdoor listings. What are the views of HKEx and SFC on this and the measures they adopt to handle such situations? This course will explore all these issues and provide case studies for the audience.

This course will be very useful for capital market and IPO practitioners, in particular investment bankers, listed issuers, lawyers and other relevant parties.
