Client Insight: SEC Order Permits Shorter Tender Offer Timelines
A recent order by the Securities and Exchange Commission reduced the minimum initial offering period for certain tender offers for equity securities from 20 business days to 10 business days, easing one of the most cited inconveniences in conducting a tender offer. The shorter timeline may only be used for tender offers for private company stock when the offer is made by the issuer of the securities (i.e., the company itself) or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the issuer, which may increase the appeal of structuring large liquidity programs as company-led (rather than third party-led). This timing advantage will likely push more private company liquidity events into issuer-structured programs.
