Successful Reverse Mergers
In order to successfully complete a reverse merger it is essential for the Public Shell to perform appropriate financial, legal, corporate, market, and management due diligence on the private company merging with the Public Shell. At the most basic level the Public Shell needs to satisfy itself that the Private Company has all information completed and ready to file its Super 8-K within 4 days of completing the merger, including having audited financial statements prepared by a PCAOB licensed auditor.
As far as due diligence is concerned, particularly from a functionality standpoint, understanding management’s reasons for going public, as well as knowing the extent of their knowledge regarding public company operations, is critical to success and timeliness. Investors typically do not invest in the horse, but rather the jockey.
Reporting Requirements
Post merger, the once private company will need to file quarterly, annual and periodic reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must have the internal controls in place to ensure compliance with these reporting requirements. Hence, determining beforehand the qualifications of management is invaluable to ensuring a successful post merger operation.
