THE CORE OF A PREIPO

A pre-IPO placement is a sale of large quantities of stock in a company before it is listed on a public exchange

The buyer gets the shares at a discount from the IPO price.

This is a strategy for the company to raise funds and mitigate or lower the risk in case the IPO is not as successful as it was supposed to be.

  From the point of view of a start-up or a relatively new company, a pre-IPO placement is a strategy to raise funds before going public. It also is a way to reduce the risk that the IPO price will grow as per their expectations. Moreover, and frequently, investors in these private sales are strategic focused investors and help the company with official matters before going for IPO. From the buyer's point of view, the amount per share may be lower from the expected IPO price, but there is no surety that the price per share will be higher when IPO occurs. In fact, the buyer makes a deal without a prospectus and with no guarantee that the public listing will occur. The lower price is reimbursement for this uncertainty.

  Very few individual investors take part in pre-IPO placements. They are generally affluent financial experts with an in-depth knowledge of the financial markets.

  Keeping in mind their safety the company, on the other hand does not want these private buyers to immediately sell all their shares if their stock grows once it opens on an exchange. To prevent this, a fixed tenure is mentioned in the placement, preventing the buyer from selling shares in a short-term period.
