Secondary Market For Private Shares - A Breakfast Seminar Series

The recent headline grabbing transactions involving the purchase and sale of shares in companies like Facebook, Zynga, Groupon and other private companies has caught the attention of the media, securities regulators, private companies and investors.

Goodwin Procter has been deeply involved in secondary transactions involving the world's leading internet and technology companies and has architected innovative structures to accomplish secondary transactions for shares of private companies.

Panel discussion will focus on executing secondary transactions and managing liquidity events. Specific topics to be covered include:

• How the perfect storm of a volatile IPO environment, media attention for high profile companies and available capital have created the current secondary market
• Potential traps for the unwary, including a discussion of ways to avoid complications for an IPO or sale of the company, suggestions on how to manage the process, and a review of mechanisms to address the disparity of information available to participants
• What companies can do to manage insider sales, reduce risks and retain employees
• How investors can increase the likelihood of successfully proposing and executing a secondary transaction
