NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - March 30, 2011) - GATE Technologies, a global financial technology company creating market infrastructure for buying and selling illiquid and alternative assets, is sponsoring a complimentary web seminar next Tuesday, April 5 from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. EDT.
The seminar, hosted by DealFlow Media, is titled "The Secondary Market for Private Shares: Impacts on Investors, Intermediaries and Issuers." The discussion will address how decreased activity in the IPO and M&A markets over the last several years has left many private company stakeholders without a path to liquidity, creating a growing secondary market for private company stock.
GATE Technologies CEO Vince Molinari will be joined by Mitchell Littman and Martin Enright, Partners at Littman Krooks, a law firm, and Bo Brustkern, President and CEO of Arcstone Equity Research, a valuation consultant. They will discuss:
-
Trading in stock of private companies: What are the securities law rules, regulations and implications?
-
The nuts and bolts of negotiating, documenting and closing a transaction in the secondary market
-
Investment considerations: Valuation with imperfect information
-
Value allocation and post-purchase liquidity options
-
Supporting the growth of the secondary private equity market
-
The value of a centralized marketplace: Bringing greater transparency and confidence to market participants -- from issuers to investors to regulators
