Corey Ribotsky of N.I.R. Group, Interviewed in July Issue of
'Entrepreneur Magazine'
Shares Insight in an Article on Booming Private Investment in Public
Equity
NEW YORK (Business Wire EON) June 23, 2008 --
Corey Ribotsky, founder and
managing member of the N.I.R. Group,
is featured in "Entrepreneur Magazine's" July 2008 Issue. In an article
focusing on the surge in activity that private investments in public
equities (PIPES) are enjoying in an otherwise sluggish economy, Ribotsky
stresses due diligence as essential in considering deals.
According to the piece, titled “Terms
of Endearment,” PIPE deals have entered
the mainstream due to a slow market for secondary offerings and
increasingly difficult to obtain forms of traditional financing. It
observes that PIPE’s offer public companies
swift and discreet distribution of securities, but cautions readers that
the terms of deals must be closely scrutinized. This means meticulous
research on the investment firm and each investor: looking into past
deals, how stocks perform post-deals, and following up on references.
"The company has to know who they're getting into bed with," says
Ribotsky in “Entrepreneur.”
"You want someone who's going to be a financial partner as opposed to
someone who's just looking for a trading play."
Actively investing in public companies for over ten years, Corey
Ribotsky has structured hundreds of transactions for his investors. He
regularly represents influential investors and is frequently sought
after as an expert on direct investments in pubic companies for industry
conferences and symposia. A recent Bloomberg radio interview with him
can be accessed on Yahoo.
