What is the Alternative Public Offering (APO™)



An APO™ combines a reverse merger into a fully reporting, publicly traded shell company with private placement capital raised from institutional investors (professionally managed funds.)

In a reverse merger the private company’s operations are merged into a shell company which is publicly traded in the U.S. capital markets. The shell company is purchased by the private company as part of the transaction from a professional provider of public company shells.

The fund raising transaction is a private placement which is governed by strict rules. The fund raising is commonly called a “PIPE” transaction which is “Private Investment in Public Equity.”
