Podcast overview
Getting a deal to the finish line is a monumental task. But what few appreciate is that navigating the SEC's post-acquisition reporting rules can be just as complex. The path forward is filled with hidden tripwires that can impact future capital raises and strategic plans.
We simplify the disclosure game with former SEC veteran, Melissa Rocha. We break down the essential requirements that every acquirer must face and reveal the secrets to the all-important waiver process — sharing what it truly takes to build a winning argument with the staff. Then, we discuss the often-overlooked traps, including how a future offering can completely change your compliance timeline.
