Life before and after an IPO

Prior to going public, guidelines like corporate governance are important to establish successful relations and partnerships. Leading corporate governance becomes decisive once the company has completed its IPO and is a subject to more stringent regulations and higher expectations. Omnicom Holdings assists clients in recognizing this situation and finding the optimized strategy and tools for enhancing its image and credibility in the financial community. This includes in particular ensuring the implementation of best practices in corporate governance and public disclosure.

In the run-up to an IPO, Omnicom Holdings supports the client by advising with regard to elements of corporate governance, such as the composition of the company’s management bodies and Omnicom Holdings also helps to establish Investor Relations and corporate communication. At the same time Omnicom Holdings assists to regularly communicate the client’s corporate governance policies to the financial community through the media, the client’s website and other ways. Omnicom Holdings continues in providing support and supervision in these fields following the successful IPO and Omnicom Holdings helps the company to execute the transition from a private to a public company.

The instruments include regular written updates for the client’s executive management, assuring professional IR and compliance with regulations governing corporate governance, the stock exchange, management, financial reporting and transparency requirements.
