Professional Legal Counsel For PIPE Transactions

One of the primary reasons that a company goes public is so that it may continue to access the capital markets. Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) is one of the most common forms of follow-on access to capital markets for a public company. PIPE transactions have been heavily institutionalized in the past few years; the market for PIPEs has exploded. Our team at ANTHONY, LINDER & CACOMANOLIS, PLLC, has kept pace with this trend every step of the way.

A Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) refers to any private placement of securities in an already-public company made to selected qualified investors (generally accredited or institutional investors). Most PIPE transactions involve a combination of common or preferred equity and warrants. Most PIPE transactions also include the immediate filing of a re-sale registration statement on Form S-1 or F-1, or for those companies with an existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or F-3, the immediate filing of a takedown prospectus supplement to register the shares purchased by the investor in the PIPE transaction.

A standard PIPE consists of a private placement of securities. Generally, the transaction closes before or after the effectiveness of a resale registration statement. PIPE investors generally purchase the company’s securities in a private placement transaction predicated on the condition that a registration statement for the resale of the securities is filed with and ultimately declared effective by the SEC.
