The Syneron Experience: What To Do and What Not To Do
Underwriter selection Always co-book runners Ensure European coverage – European underwriter on the team Legal counsel selection - experienced in negotiating with the SEC (US based) Clear Roadshow message which can be communicated in a 30 minute presentation Make sure that the sales team of the underwriter is well prepared to communicate your message to their clients Allow enough time for the underwriters sales people to prepare the field before your roadshow Don’t use your Israeli legal counsel as the lead counsel of the offering Don’t rush in the process – leave enough time for all the phases prior to the IPO Don’t sell management shares in the IPO Do not make promises during the roadshow that are beyond your reach. Everything you say is recorded and will come back at you in the future. Do not take everything that the underwriters say as given – make sure and cross check including during the roadshow.
