A capital markets transaction involves raising capital through public or private markets by issuing securities such as stocks or bonds. This includes IPOs, secondary offerings, private placements, and debt offerings. These transactions connect companies seeking capital with investors looking for investment opportunities.
Turkish IPOs require SPK (Capital Markets Board) approval, minimum free float requirements, audited financials for at least two years, corporate governance compliance, and a prospectus approved by the SPK. Companies must also meet Borsa Istanbul listing requirements and appoint authorized intermediary institutions.
Private placement risks include limited liquidity for investors, potential valuation disputes, regulatory compliance issues if not properly structured, securities law violations if marketed incorrectly, and investor relations challenges. Proper legal structuring mitigates these risks while maintaining offering flexibility.
SPK compliance requires ongoing monitoring of regulations, proper corporate governance structures, timely and accurate disclosures, independent audit requirements, and material event notifications. We help establish compliance programs that meet SPK standards while supporting your business operations.
