Stonegate conducts an "IPO-style" roadshow process that can help a company get almost instant exposure to the institutional investor community. We know of no other investment bank that routinely generates this level of interest for small cap corporate clients.

In a typical Stonegate roadshow, a Stonegate principal or analyst travels with our client's senior management on the road for six to eight business days to major financial centers such as New York, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco. We only use one-on-one meetings and avoid unproductive group meetings or luncheons.

Each meeting occurs only after a stringent qualification process. Every portfolio manager or analyst visited has shown a proven history of buying the stocks of companies with similar market cap characteristics. Each has heard about the company from a Stonegate sales person, has received information about the company, and has expressed to a desire to meet management.

The roadshow process will introduce the company to 40-60 unique, qualified potential buyers. Depending on the size of the issuer, the institutions for an average Stonegate roadshow can have a theoretical aggregate buying power of $200 million to $400 million. While this is not the actual amount of buying that a roadshow produces, it is an indication of the potential amount of stock buying that could occur as a result of the roadshow meetings.
