Public Offerings and Private Placements

Our Corporate Finance team can help you structure and complete equity financings, including public offerings and private placements. From the negotiation, drafting and implementation of term sheets to underwriting and agency agreements, prospectuses, offering memoranda, escrow agreements and subscription agreements, we can assist you. Our lawyers also liaise regularly with securities commissions and stock exchanges in obtaining required approvals. We have acted as lead counsel in connection with many offerings, including:

• Private placements, including bought-deal and non-brokered, of units, convertible debentures, common shares and flow-through shares
• Public offerings, including over-night marketed deals, of units, convertible debentures, and common shares
• Public offerings with concurrent private placements in the United States
• Initial public offerings (IPO’s)
• Initial public offerings under the Capital Pool Company program (CPC)
