NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2024 / Directlylisted.com, powered by Adamson Brothers, Corp., is leading a novel approach in the public markets by providing direct exchange listings. The innovative method allows companies to list their shares directly on major exchanges such as NYSE and NASDAQ without the traditional initial public offering (IPO) process.
Directlylisted.com offers direct exchange listings.
On December 2, 2022, NASDAQ Inc. received approval to enhance the capital raising capabilities for direct listings, a significant shift designed to attract more companies to choose this streamlined path.
"Direct listings are increasingly favored due to their ability to publicly list on the exchanges without the issuance of new shares," says Adamson Brothers CEO Andy Altahawi. "On listing day, existing shareholders can sell their stock directly to the market, responding dynamically to market demand."
Altahawi explains that one of the most compelling advantages of direct listings is the elimination of the lock-up period, which traditionally restricts shareholder sales for up to six months post-IPO. This model can accelerate the listing process by foregoing the lengthy SEC review periods associated with IPOs. It can also notably cut down the costs linked to public offerings.
2023 saw a downtrend in traditional IPOs, with only 154 companies raising approximately $16.7 billion - a decline from 2022's more active market. In contrast, Directlylisted.com simplifies the public listing process, making it quicker, less costly, and more accessible, hence democratizing public market investments.
"Directlylisted.com facilitates direct listings and arranges post-listing financial support through ‘ELOC' credit lines from independent financial organizations to help companies sustain their market value," says Altahawi. "We bypass traditional IPO routes, and thus avoid underwriting fees and the undervaluation typically seen in IPOs, where companies have historically lost significant capital."
Direct listings allow the market to set the share price based on real-time supply and demand, rather than relying on pre-set IPO pricing strategies. This transparency increases investor confidence and widens the potential investor pool, which in turn ensures a more accurate valuation of the company.
In addition, direct listings offer enhanced liquidity and trading possibilities for existing shareholders, including employees and early investors, without the constraints of IPO lock-up periods. This process also boosts company visibility and brand recognition, leveraging media and investor interest as platforms to showcase the company's unique value proposition, products, and services.
"We are dedicated to transparency and accountability," says Altahawi. "We recognize that these traits are crucial for building trust and forming enduring connections with our clients. We feel that opting for a direct listing is an opportunity for our clients to demonstrate their commitment to these values while engaging directly with the market. The result is a more equitable and efficient transaction for all involved parties."
Directlylisted.com, powered by Adamson Brothers, Corp., continues to innovate and lead in providing companies with a more effective, efficient, and equitable path to public markets, aligning with modern financial strategies and shareholder inclusivity.
"Directlylisted.com is paving the way for future public listings - even redefining them," Altahawi states. "We help companies achieve fair market valuation and robust investor engagement."
