 Within the small cap private placement marketplace, Stonegate is consistently one of the leading placement agents in the U.S. For small cap companies seeking to raise additional capital, we believe a private placement is a much faster, cheaper, and more effective alternative than a true registered secondary offering. (Learn more about the key differences between a private placement and a registered secondary offering.) This theory is also supported by the facts: private placements are much more commonly used than secondaries (over 8 to 1) for companies under $300 million in market cap offering common stock.
When a company engages Stonegate to conduct a private placement, we contact virtually every qualified potential institutional buyer to introduce the opportunity. We focus on the fundamentals of the company, with the goal of getting more interested buyers than we need to complete the transaction. Creating this competitive bidding environment, with the goal of oversubscribing the potential transaction, can result in the most favorable pricing in the market.
