An PPM document is short for āprivate placement memorandumā is written worldwide by companies seeking to raise capital funding, both equity and debt, for both stock and share offerings as well as debt like bonds. The document itself will layout the āofferingā terms, i.e. what the issuer or entrepreneur is offering investors for their capital (in the āmemorandumā, i.e. the document). The OM, as its also referred to, is used to obtain debt or equity funding and each OM should be specifically tailored for each business model and plan. Our team specializes in drafting and writing PPM for bond offerings. We haveĀ written, edited or assisted with hundreds of PPMs for private and public bond issuance. Bond offerings are a popular method to raise debt capital and indeed many bond offerings will have issuers write a PPM.
The bond PPM will outline the terms of the debt securities offering. For example, if the company is selling notes or bonds, the PPM will detail the terms of the offering such as the interest rate and maturity date, payment and coupon dates, convertible bond or convertible note dates and terms, and many other factors. Thus, the writing of a PPM can assist in expediting the capital raising process.
Bond PPM Writing Assistance
For the securities to be exempted from registration via a bond offering the bond PPM must detail many features. Here are a few:
- TheĀ bond PPMĀ must give details of the securities being offered for sale to investors;
- Like in any well prepared and written PPM the management team of the company must be detailed;
- Additional material regarding theĀ bondĀ securities being offered must be shown as well (if other than common stock); and
- Finally, financial projections or financial statements must be included in the PPM. In most cases, they will need to be certified by an independent accountant.
Private Placement of BondĀ PPM
A bond PPM is often used in the private placement market to raise capital. The most common form of any document used to raise capital under 144A and Reg S is the bond PPM, which will detail the private placement terms. Private placements of 144A are both conducted for equity and debt offerings.
Public Placement of 144A & Reg S
Often companies that are listed publicly may initiate a private offering under rule 144A and Regulation S (Reg S) to raise capital debt capital by selling securities such as bonds.
PPM for Issuers of Bonds
For issuers considering selling Bond, to investors a well-tailored and written bond PPM is mandatory, particularly for those seeking US investors. AĀ bond PPMĀ offering document can add value to your offering by showing investors you are serious about raising money. In addition, it is essentially a requirement for any issuer that wants to raise debt or equity capital to hand investors a PPM. TheĀ bond PPMĀ will educate the investors and allow them to decide if the offer merits deeper thought or an investment. The document itself should tell the company story, both the product offerings and the securities being offered in detail, including the team behind the company, the terms of the securities, rules such as 144A/Reg S and more. Attached to anyĀ bond PPMĀ is the subscription agreement, which is the ācontractā between the issuer and the investor. Once signed the investor would then send in his/her money for the securities.
TheĀ bond PPMĀ should be viewed by the issuer as an opportunity not to be wasted. In other words, the PPM is the story of the company and will be the single most important document used to raise capital from investors. Without such a formal document, it is unlikely a company will raise capital, let alone be taken seriously by those that invest in debt securities.
