Pros and Cons of an IPO General perspectives about the IPO option

Cons

• Better access to capital markets to raise money through equity and bond offerings

• Flexibility to trade shares with high liquidity and daily valuation

• Greater attention, better brand recognition and prestige with consumers

• The shares as new liquid M&A currency

• Higher valuations than private enterprises possible, since greater disclosure of information reduces uncertainty regarding performance

• Potential to diversify wealth on shareholder side

• Enhanced ability to attract, retain and reward valued employees through share option plans

• Opportunity to bond and incentivize key people with long-term incentive plans
