Investment Banking

Private placements are offerings by companies that are not generally available to the general public. Accredited investors are able to purchase shares directly from the company often to help finance expansion or further exploration. These shares are normally subject to a four-month hold restriction, after which they may be sold on a recognized stock exchange.

Another key benefit of private placements is warrants. Warrants allow shareholders to acquire shares in the issuing company at a set price for a predetermined period of time. For example, an investor may buy shares in a private placement at $0.50 per share, and receive a warrant allowing the investor to purchase an additional share for $0.75 at any time during the next 24-months. If the shares rise to $1.50 on the open market, the investor still has the ability to purchase shares for $0.75. If the share price fell, or failed to reach the $0.75 level, the warrant would expire worthless.
